​
When an ambitious and naive, recent theatre arts graduate, undertakes to direct a play featuring the patients from the local psychiatric hospital, he is met with circumstances and life-lessons far beyond his expectations.
A unique blend of character-study and improvisational development, this musical dramady features a wide array of rich and memorable characters who have left audiences throughout New England entertained for more than thirty years.
Rife with humility, laughter, comedy, compassion, faith, empathy, loss, life, love, and hope…Louder than Words reminds us of the transformative and rehabilitative nature of theatre and what brought us to the theater in the first place.
