When Silence Speaks...
How do you speak your mind when you cant say a word?

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 and insightful humor, this unique and compassionate new play asks how we address life's biggest questions when words fail us.
