Small Mouth Sounds
Presented by Southern Plains Productions
Water Stage at Myriad Gardens
Friday, May 21 & Saturday, May 22, 8pm
$30 per ticket
Southern Plains Productions is proud to present Small Mouth Sounds by Drama Desk Award winner Bess Wohl. Featuring a cast of early-career artists from across the United States, Small Mouth Sounds tells the story of six individuals from different walks of life who converge on a silent-meditation retreat. When forced to confront themselves, their pasts, and each other, their vows of silence collide with the inherent human need to connect. Filled with awkward humor, this unique and compelling play asks how we address life’s biggest questions when words fail us.
