This fall, Mixed Blood Theatre will present Stephen Sachs' Sweet
Nothing in My Ear, a gripping tale about a family's struggle
over treating a child's hearing loss. It has been a huge hit in
Los Angeles, Chicago, and Cleveland. We are looking forward to
an exciting run of this show October 8 through November 2, 2003.
Sweet Nothing in My Ear is the tale of Laura and Dan,
a happily married couple. She is deaf; he is hearing. Dan speaks
and uses sign language to communicate with Laura and their son,
Adam. His family's deafness has never been an issue for Dan until
a doctor says that Adam should have a cochlear implant. As Laura
and Dan struggle with this issue, the play beautifully explores
deafness as a culture and not a disability, while shedding light
on the ways in which we are able to love and hear each other.
The play is performed to be understood by all audience members,
hearing and deaf.
Sweet Nothing in My Ear won the California Governor's
Media Access Award for Theatre and was a finalist for the PEN
West Literary Award for Drama. The Los Angeles Times calls it
"passionate, insightful, provocative and moving," and the Chicago
Sun-Times calls it "Children of a Lesser God meets Kramer
vs. Kramer." We think you will find it fascinating and poignant!
The show will feature two fantastic actresses: Terrylene, one
of the country's top leading deaf actresses who is well known
for her roles on Beauty and the Beast, ER, Doogie Howser
and Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers; and Sally Wingert,
a regular on the Guthrie Theater stage. We also are planning post-show
discussions on select nights.
