Plays for Deaf and Hearing Actors

Share

The following plays were commissioned by the Deaf Access Company. They were written for a troupe of adolescent actors who were hearing, deaf, and hard of hearing to perform for family audiences who were hearing, deaf, and hard of hearing. Performances were done in sign language and voice. They could be performed by integrated troupes or by hearing only or deaf only companies. Please be aware, however, that many scripts have deaf awareness components which necessitate the use of sign language.

Royalties for these plays are $30.00 per performance.

You can receive a perusal copy of the play (so you can decide if you’d like to produce it) by agreeing to follow the performance/royalty agreement should you actually produce the play.
