Three years after an onstage romp in Athens and beyond,
ASL Midsummer Night’s Dream returns for on-demand digital streaming.
The play that enchanted audiences returns to the digital stage as part of their 2021 season. Co-director Howie Seago brought his vision and vast expertise to create a vividly striking version of Shakespeare’s comedy classic alongside co-director and Sound Theatre founder Teresa Thuman. This production garnered the 2018 TPS Gregory People’s Choice Award for Outstanding Production of a Play, because it was presented in ASL (American Sign Language) and English.
I highly recommend this outstanding production, it was one of the most innovative shows I have ever seen. Using ASL clarified the different levels of reality existing between the fairies and the humans as well as showing a different dimension in communication. The production was truly mind-blowing.
