The Students have worked very hard on this production.
My Daughter Shannon is in the Red CAst #1, but I intend to see

This show is a great testimony to the talents of our children and the creative leadership of Nate Wheeler and Darcy Rice. Although the cast is small, the emotional impact is huge! Plan to see it.
Saw the red cast’s performance last night and was completely blown away, not just by the quality of the show in general, but the performances given by everyone were really amazing.
Everyone, but especially the two leading roles, delivered all of their lines while using sign language. As if that weren’t amazing enough, the fact that there was just so much dialogue and done at times so fast and furious with emotion, all the while signing…..wow…. We’re talking, a 1 hr. 45 min. of memorized lines and hands flying!… Speaking a role would be one thing, but to do it while signing in such a way as to convince the audience that it is your second-nature…that you’ve done it forever….and that’s the actors who spoke and signed….wait till you see how Melody conveys her every feeling without speaking at all! Go see the show.
While it’d be inappropriate for lower school students, I would love to take my MS student over the weekend (also because I’d like to see the blue cast as well). You all did an awesome job! You should be SO proud.
