Deaf actor Howie Seago appears in LAByrinth’s “The Little Flower of East Orange” now playing off-Broadway at The Public Theater. It’s a new play by Stephen Adly Guirgis (“Jesus Hopped the ‘A’ Train” / “The Last Days of Judas Iscariot”), directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman, and tells the story of a hearing woman (played by Ellen Burstyn) visited by the ghost of her deaf father – much of it in ASL.
The production runs through May 4 with two sign-interpreted performances: Sat April 19 at 2pm, and Sat May 3 at 2pm — and after both performances, the cast will return to the stage after curtain to chat with the audience.
