DUMMY DIALOGUE by David Ives

Published: May 30, 2021, 8:30 a.m.

Norman and Max may be dummies, but they\u2019re no fools. Offstage, ventriloquist dummies are the same as anyone else \u2014 smack-talking their bosses, worrying about being behind the times \u2014 but beneath their hard wooden exteriors lurk sensitive, philosophical, funny souls.

A world premiere by a master of the short form, David Ives (The School for Lies, Venus in Fur), DUMMY DIALOGUE stars Richard Kind (A Serious Man, \u201cThe Goldbergs\u201d) and Tony winner Gabriel Ebert (Matilda the Musical). It is directed by celebrated Tony winner Walter Bobbie (Chicago, Venus in Fur).
