About the play:
Winner, Tony Award for Best Play, 1985
The second in Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Neil Simon’s trilogy which began with Brighton Beach Memoirs and concluded with Broadway Bound.
When we last met Eugene Jerome, he was coping with adolescence in 1930′s Brooklyn. Here, he is a young army recruit during WW II, going through basic training and learning about Life and Love with a capital ‘L’ along with some harsher lessons, while stationed at boot camp in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1943.
“A fine comedy, and another step in the process of making Simon neither so simple, nor so simplistic.”-New York Post
“Joyous and unexpectedly rewarding.”-The New York Times
“A play that rings with a newer, deeper, sweeter truth.”-New York Magazine

Children Of A Lesser God
By Mark Medoff
Directed by Beth Marshall

About the play:
Winner of the Tony Award, the Outer Critics Circle Award and the Drama Desk Award “After three years in the Peace Corps, James, a young speech therapist, joins the faculty of a school for the deaf, where he is to teach lip-reading. He meets Sarah, a school dropout, totally deaf from birth, and estranged both from the world of hearing and from those who would compromise to enter that world. Fluent in sign language, James tries, with little success, to help Sarah, but gradually the two fall in love and marry. At first their relationship is a happy and glowing one, as the gulf of silence between them seems to be bridged by their desire to understand each other’s needs and feelings, but discord soon develops as Sarah becomes militant for the rights of the deaf and rejects any hint that she is being patronized and pitied. In the end the chasm between the worlds of sound and silence seems almost too great to cross…but love and compassion hold the hope of reconciliation, and a deeper, fuller understanding of differences that, in the final essence, can unite as well as divide.
“CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD is an extraordinary play-illuminating, consistently interesting and moving.” -Variety.
TOURING SEASON
In addition to our fully staged theatrical productions, we will continue producing Paul Strickland’s original shows globally and will be spending the entire season working on 2 new original works for local and touring productions in future seasons. As always, we remain open to producing commissioned shows within our “OFF THE WALLS SERIES”.
