Dear friends in the DC area blindness community,

I wanted to contact you directly regarding an exciting audio description
initiative with Open Circle Theatre in Silver Spring, MD (see below or
attached).  As leaders in the DC metropolitan area community of folks who
are blind, do you think you might be able to arrange groups to attend *any*
performance of TOMMY? 

I'm certain that the production will be wonderful and the AD will be
carefully crafted and scripted.  Please spread the word far and wide--group
reservations are encouraged!

Hope to see you and many others at a performance!

All best,

Joel

SILVER SPRING, MD -- Open Circle Theatre (OCT) announces the cast list for
their

upcoming production of The Who's Tommy, directed by Artistic Director
Suzanne

Richard with Music and Lyrics by Pete Townshend, Book by Pete Townshend and
Des

McAnuff. After a five-year hiatus, OCT bursts back onto the scene with a
challenging

piece based on the beloved rock opera of the 70's. Tommy uses driving rock
rhythms to

explore the story of a young boy traumatized by a violent act as he
struggles through

different stages of his recovery. Featuring Music Direction by Jake Null
(2016 Helen

Hayes Award Winner, for Avenue Q,), Choreography by Dance Exchange (Cassie

Meador, Executive Artistic Director, and Matthew Cumbie, Associate Artistic
Director),

and Neil (Michael) Sprouse as Lead ASL Master, The Who's Tommy runs October
27

through November 20, 2016 at the Silver Spring Black Box Theatre.

"Jake, Neil and I have assembled a highly talented and diverse cast of
actors for this

iconic musical theatre piece. We're happy to have on board some of the best

performers of the current DC theatre scene!"

Suzanne Richard, Artistic Director

The Who's Tommy stars the previously announced Russell Harvard (Broadway's

Spring Awakening, I Was Most Alive With You, Tribes, and television's Fargo)
as older

Tommy.

Of special note:  every performance will be totally accessible.  American
Sign Language is

incorporated throughout the show, captioning will be available and audio
description

will be provided at every performance.

Please visit our website and blog at www.opencircletheatre.org
