Sign Stage Theatre presents "Dr. Doolittle"


Sign Stage Theatre’s “Dr. Dolittle” will be on stage Monday, April 6, 7:30 p.m., at Natrona County High School in Casper.

Description from ARTCORE web site:

In the story of Dr. Dolittle, we are introduced to the good Dr. who gives up treating people after Polynesia, his parrot, teaches him animal languages. He already knew sign language. Who would have thought he could learn animal languages too? His fame in the animal kingdom quickly spreads throughout the world. Using ALL his language skills, he sets off to cure a monkey epidemic in Africa, finding all sorts of adventures on the way.

Sign Stage on Tour is a specialist in Sign Language Theatre where deaf and hearing actors perform together on stage. Whenever a character speaks, the character speaking uses Sign Language but you’ll always hear the voice too. The voice comes from a different actor speaking through a microphone, sometimes on-stage and sometimes off-stage.

Visually, the stage is filled with the movement of hands and bodies yet every word is spoken to make sure all audience members, both deaf and hearing, don’t miss a thing. It’s a magical blend of language created when performing a play simultaneously in spoken English and in the spatial beauty of American Sign Language.

Tickets: Seniors (60 & over) $11, adults $12, students teachers, $6, children (12 and under) $4.
