Dionysus performs \u201cGruesome Playground Injuries\u201d<\/strong> in American Sign Language<\/p>\n

Dionysus, the inclusion theater, will open its 16th season with Rajiv Joseph\u2019s \u201cGruesome Playground Injuries\u201d. This poignant story covers a 30 year life span between two characters, Doug and Kayleen.<\/p>\n

Performing in American Sign Language, with captioning for hearing patrons, the show touches on the fragility of friendship and their intersection of injuries which symbolizes the pain of love and commitment. \u201cWe\u2019re an inclusion theater, and bringing in the Deaf community with this show in American Sign Language is really an honor\u201d says Nowinski, founder of Dionysus Theater. \u201cThis show, so beautifully written, takes us through the lives of Doug and Kayleen. ASL truly captures its essence and takes it to another level of understanding\u201d says Nowinski. \u201cThere are some friendships that can injure the psyche, but you still continue to love. Doug Hart (Doug) and Holly Krone-Clemente (Kayleen) bring amazing physicality along with ASL to this show; everyone will be touched by the message. This show in ASL supports our mission of inclusion and brings thought-provoking, unique theater to Houston.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oleg Golovushkin is directing \u201cGruesome Playground Injuries\u201d.\u00a0Born in Russia, Golovushkin received his MFA in Film and Photography from St. Petersburg State University of Culture and Arts. He became the Director of the House of Culture for the Deaf in St. Petersburg, Russia. He was a producer of TOYS Theater \u2013 theater for deaf which toured internationally.<\/p>\n
