In just five short years, Deaf Broadway has become synonymous with authentically Deaf musical theater. The organization was founded during the 2020 pandemic in response to artistic director Garrett Zuercher's experience with the state of Deaf access to performances of lyrically complex musicals, which too often water down the nuance of the original work’s language and intentions. Taking up the gauntlet, he and his team began producing American Sign Language interfaces of popular musicals. Eventually, the company began staging the prerecorded audio performance of the musical, presented live by a trained Deaf cast acting their individual parts in ASL. Following their productions of RENT and Once on This Island, this remarkable company returns to Lincoln Center with a live staging of the Broadway smash Waitress by Sara Bareilles and Jessie Nelson—offering a more equitable shared evening for hearing and Deaf audiences alike, showcasing a full Deaf Broadway cast performing the music through ASL with direction by Sandra Mae Frank.

Artist Biographies

Cast Biographies

Zain Ahmed (Ogie) I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing with a minor in Psychology from Rochester Institute of Technology, complemented by two professional marketing internships. I am also a professional actor, dancer, and signing songs in American Sign Language (ASL), with 5 years of experience. I work as a professional ASL Actor at the Miaplaza, where I perform for ASL courses to teach students to master the language. Additionally, as a content creator on social media, "DESI ASL," I specialize in producing content that spans storytelling, signing songs, dance, and education related to Pakistan and India in ASL. Originally born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan, I moved to Chicago at 8 years old and later relocated to Rochester, New York for college and my career. Previously, I was part of a professional traveling theater troupe for 4 ½ years, delivering performances and workshops focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S.T.E.M.) and Deaf culture for K-12 students and beyond across various U.S. cities. My experience also includes a range of roles in stage plays, films, and commercials, showcasing my talents in acting, dancing, and signing songs in ASL from high school through college and into my professional jobs for 15 years. Beyond my professional work, I enjoy studying and working on projects related to performing arts and marketing.
