OUR STORY

We are a company for people who want to see more. We play with stories, connecting old and new perspectives. See differently.

Formed in 2016 by Jessica Moody and Ilana Charnelle, Deafferent Theatre exists as a reaction to the audism and ableism that dominates our stages. Deafferent Theatre works to re-imagine possibilities. We incorporate bi-cultural methodologies using authentic representation, sign language, and a deaf aesthetic. We create new productions, and repopulate familiar stories with deaf presence. We champion courage, and collaboration.
