Oh good, finally we're starting to save money where it really counts...

From the May/June 2006 issue of The Dramatist:

National Theater of the Deaf in W. Hartford, Conn., and Deaf West Theater in Los Angeles have been told the US Dept. of Education will no longer support deaf cultural programs, the Hartford Courant reported. NTD, the oldest company of its kind, received a special 1977 Tony Award, while DWT garnered a Tony nom for its 2003 Broadway revival of BIG RIVER. Both companies had been receiving funds through the Education Dept.'s Office of Special Education Programs.

Gee...I wonder what they're spending the money on instead?
