By: A.A. Cristi May. 24, 2017
Rehearsals have begun for Chicago D(ART)'s inaugural production of "Police Deaf Near Far" by David Rush.
Loosely based on actual events - Police Deaf Near Far follows the parallel stories of a young Deaf rights activist and two police officers as their worlds tragically collide. This production will be hosted by Steep Theatre Company at their Edgewater theatre located at 1115 W. Berwyn Ave in Chicago. D(ART)'s vision is to be recognized as a home for art and culture for Deaf artists in the city. They will create quality works in a wide variety of mediums that reflect the undeserved d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities in Chicago.
It is directed by Executive Director Richard Costes* and Assistant Directed by Artistic Director Christopher Schroeder*. Crom Sanders* and Matt Anderson* lead the ASL interpretation as Sign Masters.
The cast is led by Ethan Hart-Cook* as Stinger, Brenda Scott Wlazlo as Roberta, Jaq Seifert as Officer Peter Banterra, Elaine Small as Officer Diane Springhorn and Brendan Connelly* as Chad.
The ensemble includes Allison Friedman*, Darionna Jackson*, Ivory Stahly, Jillian Leff, Joseph Alvey, Liam MacDougall, Madeline McKelvey*, Mary-Kate Ashe, Morgan Laurel Cohen and Nate Buursma.
