Similar Stories to Sign Language Theater Company Stages Remarkable New Musical on Bing News

When the curtain falls on this theater company's empowering new production, many of the actors won't be able to hear the applause. The Deaf West Theatre in Los Angeles is incorporating both hearing and deaf actors in its beautiful production of "Spring Awakening." A combination of speech, song and sign language will push the story the forward, an effort that the theater describes as equalizing. "No one language will take precedence in this production," Shoshannah Stern, the actress overseeing the American Sign Language in the performance, explained with a smile in the company's initial video casting call. Deaf West's plays and musicals are known for using actors with some kind of hearing loss, as well as actors who have no hearing loss at all.
