Biography
Sandra Mae Frank became a watershed moment for deaf representation on Broadway when she originated the role of Wendla in Spring Awakening—the first and only deaf actor to lead a Broadway musical as of 2025. Born March 21, 1990, in the US, she is an actress and screenwriter who has built her career at the intersection of performance and advocacy. Her breakout television role came as Dr. Elizabeth Wilder in NBC's New Amsterdam, a medical drama that ran from September 2018 to January 2023; Frank joined the main cast in season 5 after a recurring arc in season 4. She also appeared in the 2023 film The Silent Hour. Beyond acting, Frank works as production manager at the Deaf Austin Theatre in Austin, Texas, and has published in the Washington Post on deaf talent and casting equity, coining and explaining the hashtag #DeafTalent. As a Capricorn, she channels the sign's trademark determination into systemic change. Screenwriters and actors historically face gatekeeping; Frank's insistence on equal casting for deaf performers reframes disability not as limitation but as authenticity.
