SMALL MOUTH SOUNDS
By Bess Wohl
Directed by Lindsay Rae Taylor

Six strangers gather at a silent retreat, each seeking clarity at a personal crossroads. Stripped of words, they navigate isolation, connection, and the quiet tension between seeking solitude and craving understanding. Through gesture, silence, and vulnerability, Bess Wohl’s offbeat play reveals how people on separate journeys can still collide, overlap, or quietly pass each other by. When language fails us, new ways of knowing and relating can emerge.

Small Mouth Sounds is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. www.dramatists.com
