It is so much cooler when you get this in your email because each show clicks straight to the box office of each theatre. So handy. You should open the email. I'll wait...

🌊 OPENING MAY 21 - Another Kind of Silence at The VORTEX! Shows run through June 7, 2026

Love. Silence. Desire - Signed, Spoken, and Felt.

🌀 The VORTEX continues its “Pursuit of Happiness” season with the Rolling World Premiere of Another Kind of Silence, a new, bilingual play in English and ASL (American Sign Language) by L M Feldman, directed by MoMo Holt. A National New Play Network (NNPN) Rolling World Premiere, this production unites Deaf-Blind, Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and hearing artists and audiences into a fully integrated bilingual experience.

Performed simultaneously in signed ASL and spoken English, Another Kind of Silence examines relationships shaped by difference. Deaf-Blind, Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and hearing characters are paired with a “chorus” - another voice, another body - revealing interior thoughts and emotional truths through a second language. Layered communication and embodied storytelling drive the work, expanding the possibilities of bilingual theatre while centering collective well-being

The characters’ intersecting stories move through love, fulfillment, hunger, and silence, tracing their journeys as they search for a way forward. What is signed, what is spoken, and what is left unspoken forms a richly textured theatrical language of transformation 🎭

The dream!

When the resident company model was more prevalent in U.S. theatres, actors had the chance to put down roots in a community. Is that dream over?
