Theatre of the Unheard is the third solo album by American country musician Darrell Scott, released in 2003 by the Full Light label.

Critical reception

In his review for AllMusic, Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr., writes, "It's easy to lump Darrell Scott with other singer/songwriters. His songs certainly give the impression that he's writing out of personal experience, but his tendency to paint with large brush strokes gives his material universal appeal."

David Whiteis of The Chicago Reader writes, "His recent Theatre of the Unheard (Full Light) revisits a set of tunes he originally cut 12 years ago for a never-released album. In the interim Scott has changed his musical approach, abandoning the melange of honky-tonk tropes, rock rhythms, and jazz colorings on his early recordings for straight-ahead country-rock bombast."
