LOUDEST MAN ON EARTH AUGUST 6 * 8 PM By Catherine Rush * Directed by Pamela Berlin
A romantic comedy tracing a blossoming relationship and the challenges faced by  
a deaf/hearing couple.

About the show:
Jordan Weiss has been deaf from birth. A loner, maverick theater director and  
staunch non-conformist, Jordan's life is going along pretty well. Until he meets  
Haylee Masters - a quirky and independent woman, unfazed by his screams to get  
off the stage during a set change. Jordan finds Haylee fascinating and she, in  
turn, is drawn to him. The only problem is - Haylee can hear. The Loudest Man  
on Earth is a romantic comedy tracing the relationship that blossoms between Jordan  
and Haylee and the unique challenges they face as a deaf/hearing couple. Seventeen  
other characters played by two actors take us through moments in their relationship  
that are hilarious, bizarre, frustrating and sometimes heart- breaking.
