The piece is inspired by true stories shared by parents, educators, lawyers, and others who have fought for equity in schools. There will be a post-show panel discussion on Friday October 24th moderated by Julie Rems-Smario that includes parents of Deaf child(ren) and Deaf community leaders who have lived these experiences firsthand.

[CONTENT DESCRIPTION: Facebook post image for Urban Jazz Dance Company’s Home Season 2025, with large block letters in neon yellow, neon pink, and neon green over a layered background of dancers, bubbles, lighting, and shadow. The central image features Deaf dancer Zahna Simon illuminated in a pool of greenish light with her face tilted upward and one hand raised, surrounded by bubbles giving the image an underwater feel. Above her, two dancers are mid-air, pulling on opposite ends of a braided rope in a dance game of tug-o-war.
