About the Show

A revival of the Tony Award-winning rock musical about teenagers discovering the tumult of sexuality, is presented by Deaf West, performed in both American Sign Language and spoken English.

Rebellious teenagers take a provocative journey from adolescence to adulthood in this powerful celebration of self-discovery in oppressive times. A rock musical adaptation of the 1892 German play of the same title by Frank Wedekind. It will be performed simultaneously in American Sign Language and spoken (and sung) English. With a score by Duncan Sheik, this story of youth and sexuality seeks to awaken audience passion.
