Sunday, April 22, 2007
7:00 p.m.
directions
NOTICE: The bus is sold out! However,
tickets are still available at the BC Ticket Office for the play, $15
each. You can meet your fellow students at the theater at 6:30 to
collect your ticket from Tom Moran at will call.
A group of faculty and students from
the ASL Program at Bakersfield College will travel by bus to Culver City
to see Sleeping Beauty Wakes. Ticket prices for the play, the bus
ride, and a small meal will total no more than $40. Watch for updated
information about when tickets will go on sale.
Featuring the indie pop/rock sensation GrooveLily on stage with both
Deaf and hearing actors, Sleeping beauty wakes is a fun and free
adaptation of the Grimm's fairy tale. After her 100-year snooze, Beauty
awakes in a new time and place where everything is strange--the palace
is gone, all the princes have given up, and now she has insomnia! Or is
she still asleep and dreaming? As they did with Big River, Deaf
West Theater delightfully twists another classic into a unique musical
where spoken English and American Sign Language are interwoven with
music, dance, and song to create an exceptional theatrical experience.
