It would be correct to say that Silent NO MORE was about not letting your disability define you. Through poignant storytelling and videos, you laughed, cried, signed, applauded and most importantly got to hear loud and clear about the polarization between those who sign, those who can hear with aids, and those who speak. Directed by Michelle Christie, who founded No Limits 20 years ago, her commitment to serving this underserved population was profound both in the performance as well as the talk back with the audience.

From Kathy Buckley’s humor (a cast member as well as comedienne extraordinaire), to Rebecca Alexander’s rare disease (Usher’s Disease) that causes blindness as well as deafness, to a hearing-impaired pilot, a guy who rode across America hearing impaired, to a mom’s passionate fight to get information and services for her daughter the audience was mesmerized by their grace and adventures. In one hour, we became informed, advocates and admirers of these amazing folks and want to stay on the journey with them. A must see for all ages.
