Contemporary Theatre of Dallas presents Children of a Lesser God; winner of the Tony Award, the Outer Critics Circle Award and the Drama Desk Award for best play. A success both on Broadway and at the Mark Taper Forum, in Los Angeles, this deeply moving, beautifully written play details the romance and marriage of a sensitive but spirited deaf girl and the devoted (and hearing) young teacher whom she meets at a school for the deaf.
