Small Mouth Sounds at Firelight Theatre Workshop

SMALL MOUTH SOUNDS, the spring play
May 9 - June 7

How do you speak your mind when you can't say a word?

Small Mouth Sounds, by Bess Wohl (Pulitzer 2026 for Liberation !), follows six troubled souls who come together for a week-long silent retreat with their Teacher. Without words, they must find a way to listen, and they must find a way to be heard. Join us at Firelight for this unique + intimate comedy.

Run time: 90 minutes without an intermission

Opening Night | Saturday, May 9 at 7:30pm | Pay-What-You-Can!
May 10 - June 7 | Thursdays - Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2pm | Tickets $20-$40

Since Small Mouth Sounds takes place at a silent retreat, we invite our Firelight friends to play with silence, too.

Play with Silence: A Firelight Fundraiser | Wednesday, June 3 at 5:30pm | Tickets $125
We’ll begin with a Silent Dinner of woodfired pizza, salad, & beer at Post & Beam Brewery. Dinner will be followed by a special performance of Small Mouth Sounds at the Firelight Studio. What happens when we communicate without words?

Directed by Co-Artistic Director Nora Fiffer, the play features Laura Carden, Jason Lambert, Isaiah Lapierre-Palmer, Paul Merrill, Roy Schlieben, Amanda Sennett, and Alix Woodford. Production Team includes Sarah Sandback (Stage Manager), Tori Haring-Smith (Dramaturg), Costume Designer (Aleia Ramsey), Scenic Designer (Bill Cass), Lighting Designer (Quenton Glennon), Ian Aldrich (Props Designer), Sound Designer (Adam Arnone), Travis Hatfield (Asst. Stage Manager), and Sound Engineer (AMT Productions).

We are delighted to share that, thanks to a Firelight Angel Donor, we have new risers! Safety, comfort, and accessibility are our aim with this new seating. We're excited to see you at the Firelight Studio at 70 Main St. #204 in Peterborough, NH (rear second-floor entrance).
