Steve Noll

In Bess Wohl’s play, six city residents embark on a silent retreat. Madison Theatre Guild’s last production of the season is a study in non-verbal communication and the universal language of charades. Deftly directed by Dana Pellebon, it features a remarkable cast that manages to speak volumes through smiles, primal sounds, gasps, fits of tears, and many more full-body reactions. See Gwendolyn Rice’s review at isthmus.com.

4/25-5/4, Bartell Theatre-Drury Stage, at 7:30 pm Thursdays-Saturdays (2 pm on 5/4), plus 2 pm on 4/28 and 7:30 pm, 5/1. $20.

press release: By Bess Wohl; Directed by Dana Pellebon

In the overwhelming quiet of the woods, six runaways from city life embark on a silent retreat. As these strangers confront internal demons both profound and absurd, their vows of silence collide with the achingly human need to connect. Filled with awkward humor, this strange and compassionate new play asks how we address life’s biggest questions when words fail us.

Small Mouth Sounds will be performed on the Drury Stage.

General Admission: $20
