Tickets On Sale For The Toronto Premiere Of SMALL MOUTH SOUNDS

Tickets are now on sale for the Toronto premiere of Small Mouth Sounds by Bess Wohl, running April 8th - 10th, 2022 at The Red Sandcastle Theatre.

Small Mouth Sounds tells the story of six runaways from city life who embark on a silent retreat in the overwhelming quiet of the woods. 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 humour, Small Mouth Sounds is the unique and compassionate new play that asks how we address life's biggest questions when words fail us.

Directed by Olivia Daniels, the seven person cast features Jack Everett as Ned, Ziye Hu as Rodney, Sidney Klips as Alicia, Nicholas Koy Santillo as Jan, Merril Matthews as Judy, Ryan Perera as Teacher, and Ashlie White as Joan.

The creative and production team includes Associate Producer/Production Manager Liza Hersh; Stage Manager Julie Foster; Assistant Director Daniella McNeill; and Set and Lighting Designer Sophia Malbarosa.
