The Broadway hit is now being staged at Jaffa’s unique Nalaga’at Center, which showcases hearing-impaired and blind actors.
Instead of clapping, the audience at the Nalaga’at Center wave hands back and forth so that the actors can see and receive their praise. The 2018 Broadway revival of Mark Medoff’s 1979 Tony Award-winning drama Children of a Lesser God ended its run last May. Luckily for those in Israel, an adaptation of the play is enjoying a run in Jaffa at Nalaga’at, a unique theater ensemble composed of deaf and blind actors.
