A quest is calling your name… your help is needed to restore order in the Four Realms. Get the full festival experience with this immersive ASL performance of six of the Brothers Grimm’s Fairy Tales.
The Four Realms has been developed by a group of 10 collaborators - Deaf artists and performers were invited together in Hartford during June to craft this experience for you!
When CDT discussed hosting a festival at HH Community Farm in Middletown, CT, both organizations knew they wanted an event to remember, and a relationship to last.
CDT proposed THAT Festival: Theatre, Humanities, Arts, Together!
Firstly, the cultural significance of THAT in the Deaf community is simultaneously inarguable and iconic. Used as a term of agreement or exclamation, THAT resonates across our community. We knew it could be a simple yet effective brand.
But why Theatre, Humanities, Arts, Together?
THAT Festival was born out of seeing the same values that Connecticut Deaf Theatre and HH Stonewall Community Farm share:
This is why we’ve invited local and national organizations, programs, and artists that meet our values. Some focus on the natural and humanities component, while others focus on the arts and theatre, but all have a passion about uplifting Deaf and Disabled people.
We truly look forward to having you join us and meet the astounding people working with us towards the same mission!
Join Connecticut Deaf Theatre and HH Stonewall Community Farm at THAT Festival and become a vendor to sell your goods, promote your organization, and make connections!
