The cast of Wall developed and performed the play at NTID and for several community groups in Rochester. The group also took the play on the road, making it the first NTID production to tour, with performances in Maryland, New Jersey, Washington, D.C., and Michigan.
The production was created by seven students—Paul Johnston, Bob Audette, Joe Gonzales, Cathy Meek, Kat Burland, Mark Suffridge, and Ron Swartz—and was directed by EET instructor Jerome J. Cushman.
