MARLEE MATLIN: NOT ALONE ANYMORE
In 1987, Marlee Matlin became the first Deaf actor to win an Academy Award and was thrust into the spotlight at 21 years old. Reflecting on her life in her primary language of American Sign Language, Marlee explores the complexities of what it means to be a trailblazer. As a child, filmmaker Shoshannah Stern was inspired to believe that a Deaf woman like herself could pursue a career as an actor after seeing Matlin win her Oscar, making this directorial debut an intimate and honest full-circle moment.

Summary:
The Tony-winning play, based on the best-selling novels, upends the century-old story of how an orphan boy becomes the legendary Peter Pan.
Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair… and the bonds of friendship, duty and love. Though not a musical, this play incorporates musical elements to create its magical storytelling. This production uses ingenious stagecraft and imaginative innovation to bring the story to life. While Peter and the Starcatcher is not considered a children’s show, it is appropriate for young people 8 years and older. Rated G
