CCBC Catonsville Hosts Tony Award Winning National Theatre of
the Deaf on Friday, February 18th
Hartford based National Theatre of the Deaf (NTD), sponsored by the
Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) Guest Artist Series,
announces their 2005 season premiere of Little Theatre of the
Deaf’s (LTD) Fingers Around the World. The performance will be
held in the Q Theatre at CCBC Catonsville, Friday, February 18th at
7:00 PM.
Hartford, CT (PRWEB) February 10, 2005 -- This series spans across
five continents of the globe. LTD actors, who recently taped shows
for Sesame Street, point to the mysterious Orient by using tidbits
of Asian folklore, culture and history in an adaptation of Alice in
Wonderland. Distinguished by a unique theatrical style, the
performances are in two languages- American Sign Language and spoken
English. LTD has created a new dramatic art form, which speaks with
voices of beauty and power- one for the ear and one for the eye. You
Hear and See every word.
Founded in Connecticut in 1967, NTD productions provide the majority
hearing community to be stimulated by the skills and artistry of the
minority Deaf community. This continues to be the best vehicle to
overcome Deaf stereotypes. In thirty-eight years, there have been 64
national tours with visits to all 50 states, 30 international tours
and over 7,000 performances; earning NTD its place in theatrical
history as the oldest, continually producing, professional touring
theatre company in the United States.
“As part of our goal to establish a presence as Deaf artists, we
at NTD are excited about the joint programming with CCBC
Catonsville’s Guests Artist Series,” said Dr. Paul L. Winters,
Executive Director.
