Directed by Capital Stage Artistic Director Michael Stevenson, THE SOUND INSIDE centers on the relationship between Bella Baird, a Yale creative writing professor, and Christopher, a gifted and enigmatic student whose connection to her develops in unexpected ways. The play received its world premiere at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in 2018 and was later produced on Broadway at Studio 54, where it earned six Tony Award nominations, including Best Play. The production was named a New York Times Critic’s Pick.
The Sacramento production will feature Dana Brooke and Jacob Flekier. Both actors are members of Actors’ Equity Association.
THE PLAY
When Bella Baird, an isolated creative writing professor at Yale, begins mentoring a talented but mysterious student, their professional relationship deepens into an intense personal connection. As their lives and the stories they tell intertwine, Bella makes a request that challenges both characters and explores the boundaries of trust, obligation, and personal responsibility.
The running time is approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.
CAST
The cast includes Dana Brooke and Jacob Flekier, with Jillian Owens and Matthew Hanjoong serving as understudies.
