- He didn’t understand sign language, she hadn’t used her voice in 26 years, but they still found ways to trust and communicate. Joshua Jackson and Lauren Ridloff share the story of their first rehearsal for "Children of a Lesser God," and how they were able to find a connection and understanding through their vulnerability and desire to be heard. Joshua Jackson makes his Broadway debut in "Children of a Lesser God" after earning rave reviews -- "The New York Times" hailed Jackson "a revelation" -- at last summer’s workshop in The Berkshires. He currently stars in Showtime’s "The Affair" and was recently seen in the National Geographic Channel’s "Years of Living Dangerously." He previously starred on "Fringe" and "Dawson’s Creek."
Lauren Ridloff received a Best Actress nomination by the Berkshire Theater Critic Awards for her portrayal of Sarah Norman in the Tony Award-winning "Children of a Lesser God." She will reprise her role with her Broadway debut at Studio 54. She appears in the Palme D’Or nominated film "Wonderstruck," directed by Todd Haynes and starring Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I’m also fluent! This story, when I saw it on film in my high school ASL class, I knew I wanted to become an interpreter. I am now certified! 🤟🏽
She has so much passion when she signs....and a beautiful soul.
I'm fluent in ASL. I watched it on opening preview night, and I cried when she used her voice. It's a really great play. Mark Medoff who wrote Children of a Lesser God is a professor at my university. So it was an honor to see the reboot on Broadway a couple weeks ago. Definitely recommend it.
brookeasaurusrex14 Saw it last night. And wow, that scene brought tears to my eyes. Great show.
S. R. Sehgal did you hear? Apparently they aren't financially making it so May 27th is the last day. So sad to hear that.
I admit this video gave me tears. What a beautiful connection between Lauren and Josh.
I started noticing Josh when he was cast in Fringe. Missed out in Dawson's Creek, feeling it was a too much of a teen drama. But seeing this man perform in Fringe, I noticed for the first time this man had range, and all thanks to the rest of cast. They really helped him elevate his art in acting. It's great to see him expand into Broadway. Keep up the amazing work Josh.
Dawson's Creek is not objectively a "good" show and it's definitely a teen drama but he was also very good in that. He's also done an amazing job in the TV series "The Affair".
If you haven't watched "The Affair" yet on Showtime, you'll see Jackson's full range. He's also been in "When They See Us" (Netflix) and more recently "Little Fires Everywhere" (Hulu).
You still should see Dawson's Creek. 😉
@@candiceerorita9505 I'm going to watch the first season.
I love that even she fangirls over ‘Dawson’s creek’ and ‘mighty ducks’. Poor josh. That is NEVER gonna go away. 😂
Natalie Zayas-Bazan I watch another interview, recently, where she said she never had watched him on tv. Maybe those references were for the audience.
@@annacairns I'm sure she did her research on his career to know who she was working with before she met him or even while she was working with him!
@@allysonmessina1785 Happy Holidays! She probably did a lot of research, especially to see if they would work well together and they did 😀. Though I suppose for actors, getting to know each other by researching them and meeting them and rehearsing would make more sense than watching the person on tv. Just my thoughts. Stay safe and well 😀
Yes everyone will always remember him as “Pacey” despite his many amazing roles. Joshua knows this, everytime someone mentions it he just laughs it off and is a good sport about it. All good 😂
@@FacebookQueen I get what you’re saying. Josh has MANY other talents, and “being Pacey” is just one small part of his identity. BUT, Josh’s performance on Dawson’s Creek was PHENOMENAL. The way he delivered his lines (voice, tone, timing, etc), looked at “Joey”, and “Pacey” was a very relatable character for the teen audience (such as myself) at the time the show aired. I think all of those factors together have created this classic identity for Josh that passionate fans of the TV show will always carry. ♥️
It blows my mind how they only turned on Auto-Captions instead of actually taking the time to caption the video. The auto-captions aren’t 100% accurate!
He needs more recognition
I have a crush on Josh since Dawson's Creek 😍😊
Love how Josh didn't realize he was signing at times!
I can watch this over and over again. I really want to learn, to understand and to communicate.
I am quite impressed with josh, from Dawson’s creek to this role is impressive.
Joshua is great i believe this man excel i admired him so much ... He.has so.much. talent and passion in his work...
Josh should get an Oscar or a more suitable award for his role in this play.
Phil Marlowe
I thank that is called a Tony Award
Wow, this story is so amazing! I'm inspired to see the play now! And I'll always have love for Joshua Jackson and his work.
Geana Harris it closes May 27th. So see it soon
Amazing connection between both. I adore Joshua Jackson for his natural caring humanitarian heart in so many things he does....Bravo
Who came here after watched the Eternals ( the character Makkari)?
THIS IS SO INTERESTING AND AMAZING. I ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF THIS VIDEO. IT WAS SO HEARTWARMING. MUCH LOVE💙❤ AND GOD BLESS THEM. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS PLAY..
This is quite touching.
I remember the original film & I would really like to see what these two bring to the drama on stage.
👏🏼
Wow! This was just lovely! I'd very much like to see this show!
I never forget that scene with Marleen Matleen screaming in Children of a lesser god movie when I watched it on TCM with my mom
Emily Blunt my favorite actress!
Beautiful n well said. Thank you for sharing to make others with open minds n heart.. stay safe warm and healthy. Be kind and help others.. Happy Memorial Weekend
This lump will not leave my throat. 😭
It blows my mind they didn’t just make the choice to have an interpreter say Ridloff’s lines or have a caption/title technology show the words she’s saying and you follow through that or you don’t. If HOH, Deaf and deaf people have to make so much effort trying to hear our words, it’s really not that much to ask a hearing audience to have to make an effort to hear her. Plus them not making this accessible? The only person who can see the interpreter at the Talk is Ridloff, and this Talk’s CC’s are auto-captioned. This is just a disconnect.
Agreed! I found this really surprising too. I was also surprised Josh didn't sign more as he now can. But I appreciated all that they shared.
Like Joshua I would bawl my bloody eyes out.
This is such a beautiful video. Thanks.
This is truly AMAZING! Wow!!!
One word: powerful
That was so beautiful!
Beautiful
Joshua is like a younger George Clooney. 😍
Ohh 😮 wonderful Thank you so sweet 💕for sharing your thoughtfulness & explanation about Josh & Sarah that help me to understand the play… I with a few of my Gallaudet friends went to Broadway 🎭 in NYC about 40 years ago… During the break time… Guess what?!?… …we saw Dolly Parsons & we met her… it was very nice visiting with her in a brief moment… Again I saw the movie 🎥 too… Wishing both of you great successful at the play together… 🥰💕…
Respect
I would love to see this!
Love Josh and Lauren ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Heartwarming
I wish i could somehow stream their play
amazing ...
I wish I could have seen the play on Broadway -- does anyone know if a high-quality video version is available of it?
This is amazing ❤️
He didn't get nominated for a Tony. No mention. But Lauren did. Shame it's closing on the 27th May
Makkari as lauren ridloff is the best thing ever
Connie from twd
kind of funny that Joshua Jackson used to be in a relationship with Diane Kruger for about 11 years. Now Diane is in a relationship with Norman Reedus who plays Daryl on the walking dead next to Lauren.
Is that a pot belly lol Joshua is lucky we luv his personality so much
Aww, 🥰 well, whatever. 🤗🤷🏼♀️ I didn’t even notice it because his face, demeanor, intelligence, articulate-ness and his voice are HOT AF! 😍
The women speaking sounds like ming na wen😭
I know some ASL
