THE MAI: ASL/Open Captioned Performance

THE MAI, by Marina Carr, runs January 13, 2023 – February 5, 2023 at Irish Classical Theatre Company. 

On select Thursday evenings throughout the Season, American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters are located near the stage to give the best sightlines to follow the interpretation and action on stage. An LED captioning sign displays the dialogue and any other audio portion of the production in text form in sync with the performance. ASL interpreters are provided by Deaf Access Services, an affiliate of People, Inc., and captioning services are provided by c2 (caption coalition) inc.

The Mai, an accomplished, savvy, middle-aged woman, is thrown into a world of confusion after her husband abandons her and her children. His return causes even more trouble, uniting four generations of women to grapple with love, loss, and the idiosyncrasies of family. Executive Artistic Director Kate LoConti Alcocer stars as the titular character leading a powerhouse cast in this award-winning modern Irish play, directed by ICTC Co-Founder Josephine Hogan.
