In the late 1950s, a small group of theater professionals met in
New York City to establish a troupe that would showcase the unique
talents of deaf actors. Pictures in the Air tells of their success
in starting the National Theatre of the Deaf (NTD), an institution
renowned throughout the world. Author Stephen Baldwin traces the
vital work of Edna Levine, the early involvement of Anne Bancroft,
and the stagecraft of Gene Lasko and Arthur Penn. Artistic Director
David Hays indelibly imprinted the character of the NTD with his
concepts, all captured in fine detail in this engrossing book. The
great deaf actors also are featured, including Bernard Bragg,
Phyllis Frelich, Linda Bove, and Ed Waterstreet, in the company's
most famous productions, "The King of Hearts," "My Third Eye,"
"Songs from Milkwood," and "A Child's Christmas in Wales." Replete
with photographs, this book shows how a startling new venture grew
into an artistic repertory company treasured worldwide.
