The world premiere of a modern day re-imagined signed/spoken version of the classic “Cyrano de Bergerac.” Cyrano is a brilliant deaf poet hopelessly in love with Roxy, a beautiful hearing woman. But she doesn't understand sign language and instead loves Chris, his hearing brother. Can Cyrano express his love to Roxy with his hands? Or must he teach Chris to woo her, to “speak his words” for him? ASL (American Sign Language) becomes the language of love in this new spin on a classic love story. April 20 – June 10; The Fountain Theatre, 5060 Fountain Avenue, Los Angeles, CA, 90029; $15-$34; 323-663-1525; www.fountaintheatre.com.
