SMALL MOUTH SOUNDS

BY BESS WOHL
DIRECTED BY PETER WRAY

FEBRUARY 13 – MARCH 15

Preview February 12
ASL Interpreted Performance February 20

Six strangers find themselves at a silent retreat in the woods, each seeking connection while struggling with their own, silent, inner demons. Both awkwardly hilarious and strangely compassionate, Small Mouth Sounds asks how we address life’s biggest questions when words fail us.

Rich and AJ are bringing new life to an old MET Comedy night favorite. They will host a surreal and strange talk show about what it means to be human, with the help of very special guests!

Baltimore native, Kevin Jackson, has been taking the smooth jazz industry by storm since 2012, performing with artists such as Sheila E. Wyclef and Maysa. Jackson's mix of original compositions and acoustics renditions take his listeners on a soulful and rhythmic journey. Jackson produces projects that offer something for every person's taste, whether it is rock, contemporary Christian, jazz, soulful R&B and more. Recently, Jackson has had the opportunity to perform with smooth jazz artists like Marcus Johnson, Jeanette Harris, Nathan Mitchell and Jackiem Joyner.

Kevin recorded his fourth smooth jazz debut album entitled ELEVATION in August 2021. Two singles, “Elevation,” featuring Judah Sealy, and “Druid Hill Park” are currently streaming on all platforms and in rotation on Watercolors, Sirius XM radio.

This training explores the ethical complexities that arise during multidisciplinary staffing’s in outpatient mental health settings. While CARF standards and the NASW Code of Ethics emphasize collaboration across disciplines, clinicians often encounter ethical tensions related to confidentiality, professional boundaries, and differing treatment philosophies. Participants will examine how theoretical orientation informs clinical decision-making in multidisciplinary contexts and apply ethical reasoning to real-world scenarios involving medication management, financial stressors, and disability-related concerns. Through reflection, discussion, and applied case analysis, clinicians will strengthen their capacity to navigate collaborative care ethically and effectively. Offers 1.5 Category 1 CEUs.
