Wheaton Drama will present the second show of their 2018-2019 season, 'Silent Laughter' by Billy Van Zandt & Jane Milmore. An homage to the slapstick days of early silent movies, 'Silent Laughter' is the story of Billy, a hapless schnook in New York, 1917. Not just a retread of pie fights and pratfalls (although they are certainly present), 'Silent Laughter'takes up the challenge of presenting death-defying Buster Keaton/Charlie Chaplin/Harold Lloyd style gags, with a bit of Laurel & Hardy and Musty Suffer.
