IRT Theater presents a fully accessible, work-in-progress presentation of  STEPCHILD, focusing on the complex and magical fusion of ASL, music, and theater brought to life by a visionary team of Deaf and hearing artists.

Inspired by the classic tale of Cinderella, Stepchild tells the story of Orella, a deaf girl coming of age during the Italian Renaissance. After a mysterious fortune teller teaches her how to communicate using sign language, Orella discovers a joyous new world. Her bliss is soon shattered by the ignorant and fear-mongering King, who ruthlessly punishes anyone that dares to embrace what makes them different.

With her kingdom rapidly succumbing to prejudicial fears, Orella must dig deep for  inner strength to combat darkness and save her people from tyranny.
