Dixon Place presents WHEN WORDS AREN'T ENOUGH, a post-apocalyptic journey to resurrect laughter (inspired by Mohegan stories and western myths), written and directed by Madeline Sayet on Tuesday January 5th at 7:30 PM.

Something important is missing. But, everyone in the village who can actually remember what it was is gone. All they have left now are the stories of what was taken a long time ago. Following the sudden death of her brother, Acokayis is visited by a spirit. A spirit who knows what is missing and sends Acho on a journey to restore that thing we are never quite human without.

This production is presented as part of Dixon Place's Performance Works-In-Progress. The production stars: Lauren Annunziata, Sara Group, Joanne Henry, Michael Hinton, Marlena Holman, Megan Lee, CJ Leede, and Rachel Sayet.
