The term “commercial” in the context of theater production refers to the intention to have a Broadway production as a for-profit venture. Frequently producers chose designers and creatives with an established track record of creating work of “Broadway Standard” which refers to perceived production value. The most common arrangements between producers and designers to ensure their continued involvement are a right of first refusal agreement or contractual terms that tie the designer’s involvement with a show to that of the director.

    WALLIS ANNENBERG CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS, DEAF WEST THEATRE AND CODY LASSEN PRESENT Spring Awakening Book and Lyrics by STEVEN SATER Music by DUNCAN SHEIK Directed by MICHAEL ARDEN 22 Performances Only! May 21 to June 7, 2015 (Press Opening May 28, 2015) (Beverly Hills, CA – January 7, 2015) Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (“The Wallis”), Deaf West Theatre and Cody Lassen present the Tony Award-winning musical Spring Awakening for a limited 22-performance engagement Thursday, May 21 to Sunday, June 7, 2015 (press opening May 28) in the Bram Goldsmith Theater. Tickets are now on sale. The innovative and acclaimed production, which enjoyed a sold-out engagement at downtown L.A.’s Rosenthal Theatre in fall 2014, is performed simultaneously in American Sign Language and spoken English by a cast of 25. The Los Angeles Times said that Spring Awakening is “an emotional triumph,” and that “Awakening awakens us to the dormant possibilities of this musical, with all the goose-bumps and teardrops to prove it.” Patricia Wolff, Interim Artistic Director of The Wallis says, “We are thrilled to welcome to The Wallis Los Angeles’ own Tony-winning Deaf West Theatre, and to share the creativity and joyousness of this brilliant and utterly original production with a broader audience. In Spring Awakening, American Sign Language is not just incorporated but actually choreographed into this emotionally charged musical, creating an organic and beautifully theatrical metaphor, ultimately expanding the theme of adolescent struggle to one that also celebrates the universal human need for communication and connection." James D’Asaro, Interim Producing Director of The Wallis noted, “Our role as lead producer for the transfer of Spring Awakening to our venue points to two of our presenting tenets – to not only partner with the best and most creative theaters in this country and abroad, but to support in the fullest sense visionary and innovative work created in our own Los Angeles theatre community.

    1 Cultural Daily Independent Voices, New Perspectives Deaf West’s Rousing Spring Awakening Sylvie Drake · Wednesday, June 3rd, 2015 Arousing all senses. This may be the choice three-word assessment of the stunning Deaf West Theatre production of Spring Awakening that made the leap from a long run at Inner City Arts to the larger Wallis Annenberg Center in Beverly Hills. Whatever the terms of this arrangement, one can only celebrate the fact that it happened and that, in so doing, it imaginatively took advantage of the height and breadth of the Bram Goldsmith space at The Wallis. Simultaneously, one can only weep at the brevity of its presence there. Even with the just-announced extension, the show will close Sunday, June 14. First, some background. Theatre of the deaf is not a new phenomenon, but it is neither a common nor a particularly ancient one. The first American company to successfully combine deaf and hearing actors on stage was The National Theatre of the Deaf (NTD), established in New England in the late 1960s by David Hays, a Broadway set and lighting designer and avid sailor. Hays had never imagined he would be doing that sort of thing at all. Yet after the success of the Broadway production of The Miracle Worker, Anne Bancroft and Arthur Penn, who had seen from the inside out the effect of the Helen Keller story on general audiences, enticed Hays to get involved in an experiment to do just that. Once inducted, Hays became so enthralled with the concept that he described theatre of the deaf (correctly) as “a major dimensional form of poetry.” He went on to lead the NTD for the next 30 years.
