It’s 1886, William Ellsworth “Dummy” Hoy is the first deaf player to join minor league baseball. A no-nonsense manager, players with colorful personalities, and a curious reporter create the milieu “Dummy” must understand and engage with to belong. After being recruited to a team in Oshkosh, he quickly becomes one of the best hitters on the team; however, his deafness gently and humorously expose the misunderstandings found with any language barrier. “The Signal Season of Dummy Hoy” is performed in both English and American Sign Language. From a bygone era, where humor, compassion and understanding are as important then as they are now and essential to growth, as is being open to change.
