“This is a very big step in making Branson the only Deaf and Hard of Hearing friendly vacation destination in America.” said Randy Boude of Signed Entertainment. “Now Deaf and Hard of Hearing families across the US can plan a vacation in a place that takes the time to care about their needs”.

There are an estimated 25 million plus Deaf and Hard of hearing in the US alone, with very limited access to vacation destinations. Signed Entertainment Enterprises is working to change all of that. Starting with Branson Missouri, they have found innovative ways to achieve equal access for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. The first Live show and Theatre in Branson to step up and offer equal access was The White House Theatre and The Magnificent 7 Show-

The Magnificent Seven Variety Show is a fast-paced, two-hour musical adventure that boasts 20 multitalented entertainers and musicians who take you through 50 different musical productions including swing, country, gospel, Broadway favorites, fabulous contemporary hits, and a stage full of your favorite Elvis Impersonators. It is packed with comedy and dance that is great for kids and fun for the whole family! Show time is 7pm Monday through Saturday year round. And before the show guests are able to enjoy a wonderful four course meal!

The Hotel Grand Victorian was the first Hotel to offer Equal access.

This beautiful Hotel Welcomes the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, where they continue a tradition of excellence and simple elegance. Centrally located on the 76 Strip, less than 3 miles from world class shopping at the Branson Landing, and walking distance from all of the best shows, restaurants, and attractions.

“We applaud the efforts of these incredible Branson establishments on becoming S.E.E. Certified as Deaf and Hard of Hearing Friendly”. Say’s Randy. “This opens up doors that until now have been all but sealed shut”.

If you’d like more information on this subject or would like to schedule an interview with Randy Boude, please call Signed Entertainment at 1-877-696-5388 or Email to: randy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
