CHILDREN'S THEATRE PERFORMANCES RETURNS THIS NOVEMBER 2006!

This year's performers: (from left) Vae, Jesse, Robert, Cathy and Claudia

Catch the last show - November 19th only! We are pleased to announce that Deaf West Theatre returns with "For the Love of Ducks" - a special Children's Theatre production this November. See the show for one last performance on November 19th at GLAD's Community Day. Click here for more information.

The production returns this year with new actors and improv stories presented in American Sign Language and spoken English. The show gives students the rare opportunity to see live theater and presents themes about how it is ok to be different. Deaf West Theatre's educational outreach program seeks to expose students to the professional arts, sign language and learn a little bit about Deaf culture as well as present positive deaf role models. And have a little fun too! We will provide each teacher with a short study guide to use in conjunction with the performance.

Hey DHH Teachers!

Deaf West Theatre is currently assisting schools in the Los Angeles area to ensure educational components are available during the production of "For the Love of Ducks."

The educational support materials are available to schools and students who may be interested in attending the play. This document is a pdf e-version of the study guide including American Sign Language alphabet, pre and post performance activities and exploration of the play's positive messages.
