Awkward Silence
Julianne Bernstein
Hush Little Celia - Don't Say a Word
by Joseph Wallace
Highlights
Synopsis
Celia doesn't speak.
Her teachers want to know why.
Her father is angry at her.
Her psychologist wants to help her.
But fellow student Todd only wants to get close to her.
And, through persistence, bad poetry, and a bizarre audition for a production of Romeo and Juliet , he does.
A gem of a play about love, psychology, and what happens to kids when they go unheard.
The honesty of this play and the manner in which the characters have been brought to life will move audience and participants in a most profound way.
Standing ovations at its premier production in a contest setting with a judge stating: "A marvelous play - every single character is a gem."
