[NEohioPAL] Support Deaf Actors and Theatre

[Rachel Zake]

Hello NEOhioPAL!
If you have an interest in DEI and supporting Deaf actors and Deaf theatre, we would greatly appreciate you taking a moment to check out our GoFundMe for COMMUNICATION VARIABLES: AMPLIFYING DEAF VOICES. This piece will have a reading in NYC in April and the funds go to support the actors, director and interpreters involved. I do NOT receive any money from this, but it will help the piece move forward.
WE ARE ONLY $740 FROM OUR GOAL! 
Please be a part of supporting Deaf actors and art! Below is a summary of the piece and a link to donate. Thank you all!

Summary:Communication Variables, written by Rachel Zake, is a moving exploration of identity, acceptance, and the search for belonging. Adam, a Deaf actor in New York City, struggles with isolation, relationships, and self-acceptance, particularly in the shadow of his family's difficulty in embracing his Deafness and his identity as an actor. With the insightful guidance of his therapist, Dr. Morada, Adam confronts past traumas, navigates new love, and seeks validation in a world built primarily for hearing people. The play uniquely highlights the complexities and intersections of Deaf and hearing worlds, underscoring both societal misunderstandings and the quiet resilience required to overcome them.
Thank you!Rachel
