‘Giving Tree’ By Little Theatre Of The Deaf

FAIRFIELD — The acclaimed Little Theatre of the Deaf will perform a variety of stories from Shel Silverstein’s beloved children’s classic The Giving Tree on Sunday, April 18, at Fairfield University’s Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts.

The company will give performances at 1 and 3 pm. There will also be a performance Monday, April 19, at 10 am for school groups and families on school vacation.

The innovative production combines American Sign Language and spoken word to create a unique visual language that one critic described as “poetry for the eye and ear.”

The centerpiece of this memorable performance is “The Giving Tree,” Silverstein’s unforgettable tale of a tree and her unconditional love for a boy that continues throughout his life.

The performance will conclude with the interactive improvisational piece “Your Game,” a cornerstone of Little Theatre of the Deaf productions since 1969.

Tickets are $12 for adults, and $10 for children. For tickets call  203-254-4010.
