Join us in celebration of Deaf Awareness Month for an engaging evening with Academy‑Award‑winning actress, author, and activist Marlee Matlin, as she discusses her book “I’ll Scream Later.” As the youngest recipient of the Best Actress Oscar, a star in her 2021 film CODA which swept every category it was nominated in at the 2022 Academy Awards, and a longtime advocate for deaf rights, Matlin continues to break down barriers for herself and others through her acting, awareness, and writing.
