Featured in TDF Stages “Exciting & Inexpensive Theatre: 15 Shows to See Off-Off Broadway This October”

Use Your Words! is a one-woman show—in five wordless scenes—about a new mother struggling with the responsibility of caring for a tiny human. The show is rooted in comic physicality with many props mimed—most importantly, the baby.

Imagine The Play That Goes Wrong with a much smaller cast and no words and less murder.

Maybe don’t imagine The Play That Goes Wrong at all.

Let’s elaborate: An unsuspecting trombone player will be the onstage musician...Please don't tell them there's no speaking or singing in this production. Or that they’ll be onstage.

But this play, Use Your Words! IS NOT improvised. It’s a play. With a script. Weird since there are no words...

Did we mention this show is wordless?
