We celebrate Phyllis Frelich today, born on February 29, 1944. Phyllis was one of NTD's founding company members and mainstays through its first 12 years. She left NTD to play Sarah Norman in “Children of a Lesser God,” becoming the first deaf actress to win a Tony for her work.

Explaining Canada Day To Americans

My immediate thoughts on the most monstrous, immoral piece of legislation I’ve ever voted on in the Senate. But I’m not done fighting. I know you aren’t either.
