From DeafConnect:

“The show TRIBES will be playing at Circuit Playhouse (55 S, Cooper St) from April 10-May 3. Tickets are available atplayhouseonthesquare.org

Tribes is the story of a young deaf man who grows up in a hearing family. He meets a young woman who is losing her hearing. She introduces him to deaf culture and sign language, causing him to question where he actually belongs.

This show is R-Rated and is not for children. “
