Title: "West Side Story" production in sign language and song!
Post by: Palace on November 26, 2008, 12:12:12 pm

Happy Holiday to the "Deaf," and others....


Deaf students join high school's 'West Side Story' production in Plantation, Florida!  I would have enjoyed going to see this.  Paul Catania is in Florida on the Thanksgiving holiday for a couple of weeks.  I sent the link to him.  Maybe he will go.  The interview and "trailer" to the production is quite fabulous!

Has anyone seen such a production?  I would like to put this on my priority list for the immediate future.

Regards,

Friends,


Check this out!  It cost almost fifty-thousand dollars to put this production together.  I'm a choreographer myself and learning to "sign."  I love this!  "TALENT!"

Palace:

Thanks for the heads-up!  :)  I'm about 1,000 miles from Plantation, Florida (and don't know sign language) so I won't be able to catch the show - but I appreciate your taking the time to promote this ambitious undertaking.  These kinds of full-blown musical stage productions in sign language are needed and welcomed (and expensive to mount) so I really hope it does well.  :)
