Theatre Development Fund's Theatre Access Project (TAP) is celebrating its 17th season of sign-language interpreted performances of Broadway productions for the hearing impaired. There are theatregoers who prior to TAP could never "hear" a Broadway show. Now the TAP program distributes more than 13,000 discount theatre tickets yearly to theatregoers with disabilities. Sign-language performances of The King and I, Show Boat and Victor/Victoria have already been given this season. Additionally, matinee performances of Miss Saigon will be given on November 20 and December 4 for grade school students who are hearing impaired as part of TAP's "Talking Hands" program for young audiences.
