Garrett Zuercher co-founded Deaf Broadway during the pandemic in response to his experience viewing streamed theater performances as a profoundly Deaf person. Captioned streams often poorly presented the work of lyrically complex musicals, watering down the nuances of the original language and acting. Picking up the gauntlet, he and his team began producing American Sign Language interfaces to previously filmed productions of popular musicals. On September 15, Deaf Broadway is taking it off screen to Restart Stages—performing selections from Stephen Sondheim's smash hit, Into the Woods, in American Sign Language with a cast of 10 Deaf actors.
