Deaf Characters?

I haven't seen or will see this show but Mortiz and his father are deaf characters in this production? So Mortiz is attending a hearing school as a deaf student? How he communicates with other students/teachers? Is the setting presented as they can sign to him? I've seen a few Deaf West productions and none of them had a deaf character (it's always deaf actors playing a character, and the voice was provided by a hearing actor), so it's hard to imagine how they set up the premise (is it explained in the program?)
