In LOUDMOUTH, ten year old AJ doesn't like to speak much. Her friends don't mind, but her parents and teachers sure do! When AJ and her pals meet up after school to play their favorite made up game, it gives AJ the courage to use her voice in her own way. LOUDMOUTH is a show for all ages with music, dance, and a really cool game that audiences will leave the theater wanting to play. The show deals with issues of selective mutism, friendship, and self worth. Rebel Playhouse's production teaches kids and grownups alike that it's ok to do things a little differently. (Recommended for ages 4 and up.)

The cast features Miles Butler (The Blind, The Flea); Richie Dupkin (NYC Debut); Clara Kundin (Pedro Reyes' Doomocracy); Malinda Logan (The Portrait the Wind the Chair, Kitchen Theatre Company); Jaspreet Saund (Forever Yours, The Gallery Players).
