BRING THE CHILDREN AND BRING YOUR CAMERAS! For part of the performance, we plan to take the children out of the auditorium and teach them the chorus of a popular song in sign language [for the younger kids, "Life is a Highway" from the movie Cars; for the older kids/tweens, "Breaking Free" from the movie High School Musical]. They will be outside practicing while we continue to perform songs for the adults. After about 15 minutes, the children will return, come on stage and perform their song. Have your cameras ready!

We will also have a movie trivia game show on stage with audience participation! Let's see how much you know about Hollywood! Three pairs of people will be chosen to come on stage and play for prizes!
