The Story

Hear Me is a wholly original, contemporary, women-led, cross-cultural, bi-lingual musical in American Sign Language and English, about confronting the personal beast that deters us from loving fully and living authentically.

At its heart, Hear Me is the love story --a three way--among "Claire," a Deaf, single mom and former dancer, "Will," a hearing man who is graphic novelist and is notoriously single, and "Beast," the inner voice, critic and protector, who lives inside Will's head and is visible only to Will and the audience.
