Small Mouth Sounds returns to New York following its extended run at Ars Nova in 2015. The play is described as follows: "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."
