SCENE 1 Big Bird spots a sign on the construction doors in front of his nest that he has trouble reading, so he calls Maria over for some help, who comes over with Linda. Maria reads it out, "Little Theatre of the Deaf Coming to Sesame Street," and asks Big Bird if he remembers Linda, who can't hear. They're then met by David, a performer with the troupe who explains that all of their members are deaf and speak with their hands, except for him. He introduces Ed, Tim, and Julianna.
