WASHINGTON – Members of the Gallaudet community will take part in an upcoming online chat focusing on performing arts accessibility to the deaf and hard of hearing.
WashingtonPost.com will carry the lively discussion, scheduled for 2 p.m., Wednesday, June 1, 2005.
Joining the chat will be cast members of the production, “Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” The play is currently enjoying a successful run at Ford’s Theatre in Washington. The talk will spotlight this innovative production, which includes deaf, hard of hearing and hearing actors in a synchronized performance that utilizes spoken English, American Sign Language (ASL), gestures, dance and song. “Big River” allows deaf and hearing artists and audiences to share their cultures in a seamless fashion.
