Deaf Theater Workshops
SignStage

Performing Deaf Theater is like speaking two languages at the same time. Using English Language Arts and Theater, this customizable residency, combines American Sign Language, spoken English, and creative writing. Students develop a theatrical performance or skit based upon a topic or theme being studied in the classroom. Some actors perform using sign language while other actors simultaneously use "voices" to communicate the lines. All actors learn basic Sign Language when memorizing the script. Students then perform the play for an audience of parents or your school community.
