NTID Performing Arts and NTID’s Ebony Club presented the classic Eugene O’Neill drama The Emperor Jones, the story of Brutus Jones, an African-American train porter who is hired by a white slave trader to control the native people on a little-known island in the West Indies.
Later that summer, the production ran for two weeks at the West Side Dance Project Theatre, an Off-Broadway venue in New York City. As the first version of the play to feature Deaf actors, it was honored with an Off-Off-Broadway Review Award for overall excellence.
