"Tribes" began performances at The Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis on October 5th, directed by Wendy C. Goldberg. Longtime ANOTHER WORLD actor Stephen Schnetzer stars as Christopher, the family patriarch, in the Nina Raine play.
In "Tribes," Billy (John McGinty) is a young man born deaf and raised in an opinionated and intellectually raucous family that talks constantly. Not only have his parents and siblings never learned sign language, neither has Billy, who has had to adapt to the hearing world. Then he meets Sylvia, a young woman from a Deaf family who introduces him to sign language. Billy feels a confidence and sense of belonging he’s not known before and finally understands what it means to be understood.

"Tribes" stars John McGinty, Stephen Schnetzer, Hugh Kennedy, Tracey Maloney, Anna Reichert and Sally Wingert. The play runs until November 10, 2013. For more information visit guthrietheater.org.
