In Trump’s era, will Laura discover the humanity of Americans?
In November 2016 Laura moves from Toronto to Syracuse, New York. She wasn’t expecting to be residing in Trump’s America. Gaining her first job as a Relay operator for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing causes her to question whether she can discover the hidden humanity of the American people. This production integrates ASL video performance featuring three Deaf actors, and closed captioning.
