Joshua Jackson is all smiles as he poses backstage with Marlee Matlin and Nyle DiMarco after his first performance for the revival of Children of a Lesser God on Broadway on Thursday (March 22) at The Studio 54 Theatre in New York City.

The 39-year-old actor was also joined by his co-star Lauren Ridloff and other cast mates Anthony Edwards, Kecia Lewis, Julee Cerda, Treshelle Edmond, and John McGinty.

The play, which challenges long held misconceptions about Deaf culture and the essence of communication, won the 1980 Tony Award for Best Play.

Marlee won the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in the film version of Children of a Lesser God at the 59th Annual Academy Awards in 1987. Nyle is making his Broadway debut as a co-producer on the production.
