Ohio.com - Charlie adn the Chocolate Factory in Sign Language and Spoken English: Benefit Night for Jamaica 2010 Mission Team
Signs of Grace will present Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, based on the story by Roald Dahl, on March 5, 2010 at 7 pm at Grace Church. Produced by Sign Stage On Tour and Windwood Producations, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is presented in American Sign Language and spoken English. The production features a combined cast of Deaf and hearing actors.
The event is being held as fundraiser for the Signs of Grace 2010 Jamaica Mission Team. A unique team composed of hearing and Deaf individuals will travel to Montego Bay, Jamaica this summer to serve at The Caribbean Christian Center School for the Deaf. The team must raise about $40,000 to travel, work at the school for two weeks, and provide the school with desperately needed supplies. They will work construction and host a Deaf summer camp for the 70 Deaf students who attend the school.
In Jamaica, Deaf children are often shunned, abused, and denied access to vocational and educational opportunities. Jamaican Deaf persons are often considered as helpless and dependent. They are not viewed as individuals who can achieve. This school exists to give Deaf children in Jamaica the opportunity to learn sign language and receive an education and hope for a bright future.
Signs of Grace, the event sponsor, is a Deaf ministry of Grace Church in Middleburg Heights. They offer interpreted worship services, Deaf Bible studies, game nights and other events designed for the Deaf community. Visit Home_Page for additional information.
The adaptation of this uproarious morality tale is based on the book by world-renowned storyteller, Ronald Dahl. In this production, Sign Stage On Tour adds a cultural twist to Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. While entertaining the audience with the story, Sign Stage On Tour educates them as well. Hearing audiences are treated to an introduction to Deaf culture, while Deaf audiences are treated to a rare production in their language – American Sign Language.
Whenever a character speaks, the character uses sign language, but you'll also hear a voice. The voice comes from a different actor speaking through a microphone, sometimes on-stage and sometimes off-stage. Visually, the stage is filled with the movement of hands and bodies, yet every word is spoken and signed to make sure all audience members, both Deaf and hearing, don't miss a thing. It's a magical blend of language created when performing a play simultaneously in the spatial beauty of American Sign Language and English.
Tickets are available by phoning Grace Church: 440.243.4885
