Wow! Wish I knew about auditions and such. I am fluent in American Sign Language . . . even worked with the New York Deaf Theatre! Where was this casting call?

Lizzy,

Do you know how to get a list of all current or future productions of "The Secret Garden" around country?

And this is a tour right? Do you know where I can find the schedule? Updated On: 11/16/07 at 10:07 AM

Check with the licensing company, I suppose.

I saw the Deaf West BIG RIVER and was absolutely speechless with the way they signed everything and sang at the same time. This really could work with Secret Garden.

And by the way, AngActing, since you are fluent in American sign language, I would like to learn the sign language to "Mama Who Bore Me" from Spring Awakening (off-topic, I know) and I'd like to learn how to sign it.

When I saw Big River I kept thinking about other musicals that could work in ASL, and The Secret Garden came up quite frequently. I'd like to see Urinetown, too...preferably with Ty Giordano as Bobby.

When I worked at NYDT (New York Deaf Theatre), one of the deaf actors there has a dream of doing "Wicked" in ASL. I want to portray 'Elphaba' to his deaf 'Fiyero'!!! It would be awesome!!!

I'm actually going to it tomorrow. I'm still kicking myself over missing Big River.
