One of my classes is putting together a show. One of the character concepts is a Deaf woman. We would research the role thoroughly and address it with respect. Unfortunately, we are unable to cast a Deaf/HoH actor as the casting pool is limited to just my class. I would have my friend (who is an interpreter) help me with the signed dialogue. Is this appropriate? Should I make changes? Should we scrap the idea? Thank you!
