Dear Educator,
Illuminations Arts is thrilled to announce a shadow interpreted
performance available to you and your students. Illuminations Arts
collaborates this season with Express Children’s Theatre to shadow
the production of Hansel & Gretel on May 8, 2008 at Heinen Theatre on
the Houston Community College Central Campus. Hansel & Gretel by Kevin
Reese is a delightful musical production. Hansel and Gretel get lost
in the woods and stumble upon the Witch’s gingerbread house. They
are so hungry they begin eating. The silly, near-sighted Witch decides
to teach the naughty children a lesson about how to treat other
people’s things. Well, suffice it to say this is a play about
jumping to conclusions. Nothing is as it seems. A musical adaptation
by Kevin Reese
As you may know, Illuminations Arts has provided interpreting for
various theatres, large and small, in the Houston area for twenty
years. As well as working with A.D. Players and Express Children’s
Theatre, we have worked with other professional organizations such as
Alley Theatre, InterActive Theater, and University of Houston
Children’s Theatre Festival making their performances accessible to
deaf and hard of hearing audiences. Shadow interpreted performances
are much more integrated than standard theatrical interpreting.
Shadowing allows for the full artistic impact of the play because the
speaking actors are “shadowed†by an actor portraying the same
character through American Sign Language. The performers work as a
team, creating two sides of the same character through their lines,
blocking and interaction on stage.
The May 8th shadowed performances of Hansel & Gretel will be at
Heinen Theatre on the Central Campus of Houston Community College at
9:30 am & 11:00 am. Tickets are $8.00 per person and discounted
tickets are available for groups of ten or more. Reservations for
seats in the deaf/hard of hearing section will be taken on a
first-come first-served basis. To order tickets for any of these
performances or for more information on these performances, please
call Illuminations Arts at 713-529-6909 (TTY/ VP) or 713-529-6910 (V)
or e-mail [email protected]
. OR Express Children’s Theatre, 446 Northwest Mall, Houston, TX,
77092 (713) 682-5044.
We hope to see you at this wonderful performance.
Sincerely,
Susan Jackson
