Deaf West Theatre

We wrapped shooting early yesterday and I went with some friends to see our buddy
Ty Giordano in Edward Albee's "The Zoo Story". It is playing at the Deaf West Theatre in North Hollywood and it was really well done.

The interesting thing about Deaf West is they do mainstream shows with deaf actors. They have an interpreter for those who do not know sign language and the interpreters are in the scene, just slightly behind the deaf actors. It is almost as if you are watching the show with a mirror and listening to it at the same time.

"Big River" on Broadway originated at the Deaf West Theatre and Ty along with many other actors who were in the original production out in Los Angeles went with the show to New York City.
