THE WAITING, a new musical
Aug. 3, 2022 @ 7:30pm
by EmmaLee Kidwell and Maria Isabella Andreoli
Synopsis: The Waiting is a folk musical that centers around widowed mother Chlo Evans shortly after the disappearance of her young daughter, Willow. As Chlo searches for her daughter, she discovers a parallel universe, The InBetween, where lost souls wait to pass through to the afterlife. Here Chlo learns that people she’s lost in life are not as far gone as they may seem. As Chlo’s understanding of her reality bends, will she be able to go beyond the pain of her loss, or will her soul stay trapped by the padlock of grief?
SHEEPWELL
Aug. 5, 2022 @ 8:30pm
by Margaret Rose Caterisano
Synopsis: Wattle and her daughter, Sarah, live on the rural Highway 29 just outside the small college town of Troy in Alabama. Wattle is awakened in the wee hours of the morning by a naked man, Thomas, stumbling around in her back yard. She clothes and feeds the stranger, and gives him a place to spend the night. She, Sarah, and Thomas discuss the pros and cons of leaping to assumptions and jumping into relationships until Thomas decides it is time to leave — but it won’t be that easy. Sheepwell is a very dark comedy about the importance of first impressions and false assumptions.

Hi, I’m looking for a partner to practice ASL in the afternoon time. My time zone is Eastern (US). Also, are there any events available in central Florida area?
Hi, Mindy! Did you see Sean’s reply on my post requesting a practice partner? They are also in the Eastern Time Zone. Otherwise, I’m in Central, but would be happy to partner up. I’m sure we could figure out a schedule. We’re just one hour off for time. ;)
Thanks!
Hey, I would love to partner up whenever you’re free! We can start communicating via email.
If any of you are in the Northeast Nebraska area, I will be starting a monthly social in the fall. Please respond here if you are interested. It will be at a coffee shop. The location is subject to where the participants are from. Thanks!
I am looking for a practice partner in the Central (USA) time zone. I have a fairly flexible schedule at this time. Thank you!!

Hi Aicha,
Have you found anyone to practice with yet? If not, were you thinking of practicing with someone on Zoom? What ASL level are you? What timezone are you in?

Sharing an EVENT with ASL Interpretation:
Toxic Money: Wall Street’s Evil Twin
The private equity industry has pumped hundreds of billions of dollars into fossil fuel companies with little scrutiny. As financial institutions and other Wall Street actors face growing pressure to cut emissions, many are selling fossil fuel assets—and private equity firms have repeatedly stepped up as buyers. The public needs private equity firms to provide full transparency on their fossil fuel holdings, to understand their true impact.

❓What are the community and human impacts of this industry❓
❓How can we fight back❓
Hello,
I am looking for events in southern California. Or maybe someone who is willing to connect online to practice and communicate together.
Hello everyone. Im looking for deaf/HoH and hearing meet ups in the Bay Area. Anyone know where and location? Please email me I need to get out more often and fresh my mind. Thank you! 😊
Hi, my name is Howard Wood. I live in Biloxi Ms. I am needing to get with someone to sign with for three 30 minute sessions. I am going deaf and want to get ahead of it.
Hi Howard Wood,
I am a beginner. Would you be interested to sign with me?
Hi,
I am Lan. I just started my ASL sign language few days ago and still disoriented. I need to connect to friends to practice and to go over what I have to catch up on my lessons. Thanks!
Hello everyone….I have a little difficulties with my Assignment Deaf Event #1. I need someone to guide me. I can share 30 minute video with a recent event in join here in Brunei and also chatting with a deaf local here in Brunei also virtual deaf even here all in Brunei. The deaf community does not learn ASL but it is a sign mix with English and Malay. I wonder is it alright for the requirement? Please advise.
Thank you
Hi I’m just looking for someone to help me with my sign language and communicate with a deaf individual to better my sign language. And I’m wondering if there are any deaf events coming up around the Washington area thanks!
Come connect, be curious and inspired with Deaf artists A.J Brown! She is going to guide us on an intimate tour of some pieces of personal art. There will be an ASL interpreter present and we will get a chance to chat about what we see in the pieces, how they make us feel and how A.J Brown composed the works!
More about A.J:
“I first created my artwork in 1999, with art therapy. This was to help me overcome personal fears.
One of these fears was a dream that haunted me since my childhood: I’m at the bottom of a well, looking up. I see the Sesame Street puppets, with their mouths opening and closing. Because I’m deaf, I cannot understand what they say, if anything. I feel helpless and isolated.
This art therapy guided me to take certificates from Emily Carr University. The art therapy helped start me on a new path. I’m still a work in progress. Through my twisted path to here, I’ve learned I have, within me, a unique healing energy that is transmitted when I touch things and people with both hands, and even spending time together with me. It’s why peopl leel good when they are with me. It comes from the Pleiades star system. This is a new healing energy to planet Earth. It is based on Reiki, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and Yoga.
This means my artworks are imbued with my unique healing energy. When someone views my artwork, something in them will shift toward the positive.
This new healing energy raised me from feeling helpless and isolated to feeling calmness and joy”.

I live in Southern Ontario and would prefer virtual events but all of them are in other regions, mostly Philly. Would that affect the fact that I can or can’t join? Or would I still be able to join the event anyways?
