With your help, NYDT can continue to create theatre that gives more opportunities for Deaf artists and provides a cultural home for the Deaf community to see their own lives and experiences reflected on stage as a key part of the vibrant fabric of New York City’s theatre community."

Deaf Professional Arts Network (D-PAN)
"D-PAN was originally founded to make music and music culture universally accessible by extending its reach to the Deaf and hard of hearing. Since 2006, D-PAN has pioneered the art form of creating high quality American Sign Language (ASL) music videos, translating the lyrics of popular songs through ASL. [... Today,] D-PAN.tv (The Sign Language Channel) makes quality news and information accessible to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community and its supporters. At present, there are nearly 30 million Deaf/ Hard of Hearing people living in the United States who, despite their pronounced interest, have been largely excluded from meaningful access to news and information. D-PAN helps change that."
"Our goal is to ultimately change the landscape of deaf education, especially in areas involving early language acquisition and the right to sign language. Through partnerships with national organizations and campaigns, such as Language Equality and Acquisition for Deaf Kids (LEAD-K), NDF seeks to promote awareness on issues surrounding the importance of early language and literacy in Deaf children."
