April 28 - June 10

The world premiere of a modern day re-imagined deaf/hearing version of the classic Cyrano de Bergerac. Cyrano is a brilliant deaf poet hopelessly in love with a beautiful hearing woman, Roxy. But she doesnt understand sign language and instead loves his hearing brother, Chris. Can Cyrano express his love for Roxy with his hands? Or must he teach Chris to speak his words for him, to woo her? ASL becomes the language of love in this modern sign language spin on a classic love story.
