Calling all Deaf & Signing Actors!
Hello, I have been working with Lewisville ISD to create an online course in ASL. In order to give students an adequate amount of receptive skill practice, we have created a script to professionally film an ASL Soap Opera. We are looking for Deaf Talent and Hearing/ASL Fluent talent to play Deaf and Hearing roles (both major roles and extras needed). We need Teenagers and adults. We will be filming beginning-mid June. The 2 lead roles are a Deaf boy and girl. We need teenagers/young Deaf adults, acting/theater experience preferred. Let me know if you would be interested or forward this to anyone you may know.
