Special invitation from UT Theatre and Dance for audiences of all
ages!
On Tuesday March 31st at 6:00 PM there will be a special interpreted
performance of The Edge of Peace , an offering in the 2009 University
Coop/Cohen New Works Festival produced by the Department of Theatre
and Dance at The University of Texas. All performances in the festival
are free and this play is particularly well suited for audiences of
all ages.
This is the third play in a trilogy that began with Zeder’s
award-winning play MOTHER HICKS and continued with THE TSATE OF
SUNRISE and now finishes with THE EDGE OF PEACE. All three plays
explore issues of Deaf culture and feature a Deaf character in leading
role and have been produced by Deaf and hearing theatres all over the
country.
Set in 1945 in the final desperate months of World War II, this play
explores the impact on a family and community when a local boy is
declared MIA overseas and his younger brother refuses to believe what
seems inevitable. This staged reading features Seattle actor Billy
Seago as the Deaf postman, Tuc. In the visual poetry of American Sign
Language, Tuc takes us on a journey of hope through a landscape of
loss.
