On Aug. 16,
Amazing Grace presented an open-captioned performance of the show. Cast members of the Broadway-bound
Deaf West Theatre production of
Spring Awakening — many of whom are deaf or hard of hearing — were in attendance. Unbeknownst to them, the
Amazing Grace performers had secretly been rehearsing the titular hymn in American Sign Language. During the show's finale, both casts were in tears! Open captioning was provided by the
TDF Accessibility Program.
