The plot

PLAY DESCRIPTION:

As a boy, Danny is trying to figure out his place in the world. As he grows up, he realizes truths about himself and tries to get his mother to accept him for who he is.

ABOUT PLAYWRIGHT:

Rob Roth has a long history in Deaf theatre. He started out as an intern with the Chicago Theatre of the Deaf in 1971, and in 1978 helped produce EQUUS in ASL in Los Angeles. After moving to Seattle in 1980, Rob immediately got involved in Deaf theatre, producing a number of plays, and acting in one (as an heir to a pickle fortune!). After an absence of many years, he is immensely enjoying writing for theatre.

ABOUT DIRECTOR:

Born in Queens, NY and was raised in many different countries. Now living in Austin, TX.  I am deaf and I rely on my eyes to perceive life. Art is my inspiration. I've always got this high energy to pursue art. My deafness doesn't stop me from pursuing my dreams. I create innovative designs almost everyday and doing so, my skills grow. I will go beyond my imagination. I am an actor, performer, dancer, and stuntman. My additional skills are filmmaker, graphic designer, photographer, and writer. I am fluent in ASL (American Sign Language) and Spanish.
