the national theater of the deaf made a guest appearance on what 90’s television series
National Theatre of the Deaf The history of the NTD has been recorded in a variety of sources. Helen Powers, a journalist, wrote extensively about the NTD in her book Signs of Silence. The NTD has been discussed by D/deaf individuals in their published biographies such as Lessons in Laughter: An Autobiography by a Deaf Actor by Bernard Bragg and in primary sources such as personal interviews for newspapers such as Silent News (a publication for the D/deaf), journals such as the Puppetry Journal, and television shows such as Deaf Mosaic which aired regularly during the 80s and 90s. Additionally, several scholars have included details about the NTD, its formation and development, in their academic dissertations when obtaining advanced degrees.[5]:24-25; 41-42; 55-56; 70-71; 83-84; 95-96; 109-110; 117-118
The Sound of Music (film) The film aired in its uncut form (minus the entr'acte) on April 9, 1995, on NBC. Julie Andrews hosted the four-hour telecast which presented the musical numbers in a letterbox format. As the film's home video availability cut into its television ratings, NBC let their contract lapse in 2001. That year, the film was broadcast one time on the Fox network, in its heavily edited 140-minute version. Since 2002, the film has aired on ABC, generally during Christmas week, and has been broadcast on its sister cable network, Freeform, periodically around Easter and other holidays. Most of its more recent runs have been the full version in a four-hour time slot, complete with the entr'acte. ABC first broadcast a high definition version on December 28, 2008. On December 22, 2013, the annual broadcast had its highest ratings since 2007; the increase in ratings were credited to NBC's broadcast of The Sound of Music Live!â€”a live television adaptation of the original musical which aired earlier that month.[129]
