'A Show of Hands' Fall Activities
11/5/08- Here is an opportunity for everyone to enjoy an event that involves the arts, linguistics, diversity, and understanding people with disabilities. What can encompass all of these things? A concert in American Sign Language!
Members of 'A Show of Hands' and Dr. Buisson [ right ]
This year, 'A Show of Hands' sign language performing troupe will be offering a Fall Concert as well as our ever-popular Christmas Concert. We'll be performing in Marsh Hall (across from Subway) on Friday, Nov. 7 at 7:00 and Saturday, Nov. 8 at 2:00. So, bring the kids and the cameras! We'll be teaching the children the chorus of a song from the '70s and getting them onto the stage!
We'll have an audience participation song [for the 'brave' (or unsuspecting) guys]....so bring your cameras for this, too!
And we'll have an audience participation Game Show with prizes!
Tickets are available through TicketMaster and at the door. Adults: $5.00 and Under 18: $3.00.
Adult audience members who participate in a survey will have the chance at winning a drawing for a $25 Wal-Mart gift card.
Come enjoy old oldies and newer oldies, such as:
Give Me That Old Time Rock and Roll (of course)I Got You, Babe (Sonny & Cher, 1960s)
I Will Survive (disco from the late 70s)
Witch Doctor (the first big hit by Alvin and the Chipmunks)
