Description
In this solo theatrical production (followed by guest performances), Paul S. Flores asks: How could gentrification be violent if artists started it? Like many young artists, Paul came to San Francisco looking for a community in which to establish himself. You’re Gonna Cry is about the hard realities of life in San Francisco’s Mission District, as well as the humorous, offbeat characters who make it a neighborhood worth living in and loving.Directed by Brian Freeman
