The Story
About Hear Me
a new musical in ASL & English
“A love story—a three way—among Claire, a Deaf single mom, and Will, a hearing illustrator haunted by Beast, who only Will and the audience can see.”
The Heart
Claire
A Deaf single mom and former dancer— graceful, fierce, and unafraid to love with her whole body and soul.
The Mind
Will
A successful hearing illustrator of children’s books, haunted by a darkness he cannot outrun—until love demands he face it.
The Shadow
Beast
Will’s tormentor and protector—visible only to Will and the audience. The embodiment of everything we refuse to confront within ourselves.
HEAR ME is an original, women-led, cross-cultural musical—bilingual in American Sign Language (ASL) and English—about confronting the personal beasts that deter us from loving fully and living authentically. For audiences who were moved by Next to Normal, Once, and Deaf West's Spring Awakening.
