DEAFIA, a Deaf Comedy stage show…

Story Setting: Chicago during the 1930’s – 1940’s

Story summary: Three deafies are framed by the Mafia and blamed for blowing
up the Downtown Speakeasy owned by the Mafia. While the deaf are jailed and
front paged the world over, the Mafia laugh as they rip off $$$ millions $$$
from fraudulent insurance claims, thanks to the abused deafies.

Fear grips the lives of Chicago’s deaf community victimized by Bullhead &
Co., Chicago’s most notorious gangsters.

But the Mafia underestimated the bravery of the 3 deafies. Regardless of
their fear, the 3 deafies put their guts and wits to the challenge…

DEAFIA is born…!!!

…and Chicago has never been the same!

Who will play the role of GLORIA, the deaf bookkeeper that the Mafia wants
to grab for their own greedy needs?
GLORIA is one proud, intelligent deaf lady who will not work for the Mafia.

Who will act the role of DINGY, the deaf printer supervisor? DINGY was
fired as a deaf teacher at the deaf school due to the sinister influence of
the Alexander Graham Bell Association. But he gets up again and moves on in
life. DINGY protects GLORIA from the evil claws of the Mafia.

And who will perform the outrageous role of JIM the DEAF PEDDLER, who
figures out how to outwit the Mafia and beat them at their own games?

Needed:

Deaf & hearing actors, dancers, theater technicians, voice singers, crew,

DEAFIA is a legendary deaf story that will shock the nation, and bring pride
