6A Daily News – Thursday, April 25, 2013 Pastimes & Arts entertainment The Ugly Duckling set for May 3 Adapted from the fabled 1843 tale by Hans Christian Andersen, The Ugly Duckling tells of a homely little bird born deaf in a barnyard who is rejected by his neighbors until, much to his delight (and to the surprise of others), he matures into a beautiful swan, the most beautiful bird of all. Our story introduces the central character as deaf and explores the additional challenges he faces in a world filled with animals who can hear. Featuring the brilliant talent of Sign Stage On Tour, this family production is signed and spoken simultaneously. You see the signing of the characters as they speak their lines. You'll also hear the voice of the same character spoken by a hearing actor. Hearing actors supply the voices of each of the characters as they sign their lines. Sign Stage On Tour evolved from Cleveland Signstage Theatre (formerly Fairmount Theatre of the Deaf) which was founded in 1975 by one deaf actor, Brian Kilpatrick, and one hearing actor, Charles Saint Clair. This unique form of theatre integrated the expe- riences of two distinct cultures. Its mission was to present engaging educational programs that involved theatre arts, American Sign Language and Deaf issues in order to create greater sensitivity to deafness and other diversity issues and to improve social and learning skills and selfesteem of deaf individuals. Combining the beauty of American Sign Language, the imagination of mime, and the richness of theatrical text, Signstage Theatre NOTICE Enrolling Now Grades 1 thru 8 for 2013 - 2014 School Year ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 720 South Jackson St. Red Bluff Christian Philosophy & Curriculum Excellent Academics Support Home School Families Call now for additional information and tour 530-366-1637 Western heritage.
