LISTEN… CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? Opens at FringeNYC Today

An 11:11 Experiment, presents the critically-acclaimed, autobiographical one-woman show, Listen...Can You Hear Me Now?, written and performed by Gloria Rosen, the New York International Fringe Festival. The production is set to open today, August 10, and run through August 24 at Venue 18 The Steve & Marie Sgouros Theatre.

Conceived by Peter Flint, Directed by Michael Leoni and further developed in Matt Hoverman's Create Your Own Solo Show Workshop. Hearing makes Gloria an outsider in her home where telephones and doorbells set off flashing lights, and she becomes the world's first lip syncher. The interpreter for deaf parents shares the daring, funny, eye opening story of finding her own voice.Rosen was the vigilant listener - the one to sort out all the sounds, let her parents know what was happening at all times, and be their connection to the hearing world.

The show invites you into her childhood home where ringing telephones and doorbells were wired to lights that lit up the house; watching TV with her parents required absolute concentration as her job was to lip synch all the shows; and we see what happens when she tries to pretend she can't hear so she can make friends with the children in her parents' club for the deaf. Through this show, Rosen shares her life and the story of how she finally finds her own voice. She reaches out to all of those standing on the outside looking in - so they can know that there is a place for them...and that someone is listening.
