By Jayme McGhan and Andy Pederson

Saltbox Theatre Collective, 2017
Directed by Brian Fruits
Sound and Projection Design by Justin Glombicki

  • Jason Narvy as Captain Charles Butler McVay III
  • Charles Howard, Ryan Smetana, Dane Van Brocklin, Alexandria Rust, Maggie Robinson, and Brian Bengtson as the doomed crew of the USS Indianapolis

“Saltbox Theatre Collective’s production team create a minimalist visual feast for this 85-minute fantasia on the 1945 sinking of the USS Indianapolis.”

Justin Hayford, The Chicago Reader

“In the Soundless Awe illuminates, through small but indelible snapshots, how tightly entwined heroism and trauma can be. Surviving the unimaginable sometimes only means that one’s imagination and memories become lifelong enemies.”

Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune
