Bernard Bragg “Theatre in the Sky” Benefit Performances
Coming to Seven More Cities this Fall!
SILVER SPRING, MD Bernard Bragg, an accomplished actor, director,
playwright, lecturer and founder of the acclaimed National Theatre of
the Deaf continues his multi-city, one man show, “Theatre in the Sky”,
in seven cities this fall.
“‘Theatre in the Sky’ is designed to be a humorous, sometimes
ridiculous, but always heart-warming look back on my experiences of
traveling the world, said Bragg. Earlier performances were held in
Austin, TX, Northridge, CA; St. Paul, MN; Boston, MA; Seattle, WA and
New York City, NY. All proceeds from the show are donated to the
National Association of the Deaf (NAD) and the World Federation of
the Deaf (WFD).
“The increasingly urgent need for private citizen support in
combating deprivation of Deaf peoples communication rights around
the country and world is a prime reason I decided to do this show,”
said Bragg. “The proceeds will help NAD and WFD efforts to bring
about change in education, employment, health care and social
attitudes toward health care and social attitudes towards deafness,
especially in developing countries.”
NAD President Bobbie Beth Scoggins, accompanied by Bragg, formally
presented a check for $25,000 to WFD President Markku Jokinen during
the closing ceremonies of the World Congress of the WFD held July
2007 in Madrid, Spain.
Upcoming Theatre in the Sky performances are scheduled for St.
Augustine and Boca Raton, FL-September 7 and 8; Tucson, AZSeptember
15; Riverside, CA-September 22-23; Washington, DC-September 28;
Rochester, NY-October 6; and Philadelphia, PA-October 19. Please
