The
TOLA Program was established in memory of James Tola,
a Deaf Parent, Actor, Teacher of the Deaf and supporter of Interpreted Theater.
The
Program was developed to increase the number of accessible theater experiences
for Deaf school-age children and their families (both Deaf & hearing) in the
New York City Area.
TOLA
also offers accessible theater experiences for Deaf school groups which include
post-show discussions with members of the cast.
