The Story
Hear Me is a contemporary, original musical in two acts. A small cast of hearing and Deaf actors blends voice and song with American Sign Language in a universal story about confronting inner demons--the "beasts" that constrain us from loving fully and living authentically.
At its heart, Hear Me is the love story between a hearing man--a notoriously single, graphic novelist , and a Deaf woman, who is a single mom, a dancer, and a teacher. It's a story of how we build family. It's a story of how an artist puts words and pictures on the page to understand them.
