A new dance musical, in development with Will Van Dyke (music and lyrics) and Charlie Sutton (director and choreographer). The Quiet World, based on Jefferey McDaniel’s poem of the same name, considers a world in which the government allows its citizens a maximum of 167 words per day, “in an effort to get people to look into each other’s eyes more.”
