Little Theatre for the Deaf Performance and Workshop - Free!!

The Office of Disability Services at Columbia University would like to invite you to the Spring 2009 performance of the National Theatre of the Deaf at Columbia University.

The Office of Disability Services is hosting a daytime performance and evening workshop given by the Little Theatre of the Deaf, the National Theatre of the Deaf's touring children's theater troop. The daytime performance will be a production entitled "Tree Wise" from 12-1 PM. It will be held in Lerner Hall Auditorium - 2920 Broadway at 115th Street. Tree Wise tells the story of a boy who has Deaf parents
and, through the help of a very special tree, the boy learns how to help his friends understand more about Deaf culture.

The evening workshop (6-7:30 PM) will be a lecture and demonstration of performance techniques used by the theater company. This event will be held in Lerner Hall, 5th floor, Satow Room - again at 2920 Broadway at 115th Street.

Both events will be performed in voice and American Sign Language, and are free and open to the public. Children are encouraged to attend the afternoon performance. Both venues are wheelchair accessible.

To guarantee seating of large groups or to inquire about the event, please contact the Office of Disability Services at disability@columbia.edu or 212.854.2388.

We look forward to hearing from you!
