Bess Wohl\u2019s critically-acclaimed play \u201cSmall Mouth Sounds,\u201d the story about six misfits at a silent yoga retreat, opens Jan. 30 for a three-week run at the Dusty Loo Bon Vivant Theater at the Ent Center for the Arts. Tickets are on sale through the UCCS Presents Box Office online<\/a> and by phone at (719) 255-3232. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by Tasia A. Jones and featuring an ensemble cast including Theatreworks favorites Julia Greene and Prentiss Benjamin, \u201cSmall Mouth Sounds\u201d largely relies on body language of the six yogis, although the unseen guru provides verbal instructions from off-stage. The play is filled with awkward and insightful humor while confronting humans’ innate to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it debuted it made the top 10 lists for The New York Times, The Guardian and The Hollywood Reporter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA half-dozen troubled souls find that enforced silence doesn\u2019t necessarily bring inner peace in Small Mouth Sounds, an enchanting play by Bess Wohl,\u201d wrote the New York Times. \u201cAs funny as it is, uh, quietly moving, Ms. Wohl\u2019s play is also a model of ingenuity\u2026With one exception\u2014the (unseen) guru running this spiritual retreat\u2014the characters hardly ever speak. Both the humor and the pathos spring mostly from wordless interaction, which is testimony to Ms. Wohl\u2019s intrepid writing\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
