2006 Performances at the Overture Center
Each season, Overture Center for the Arts offers specific Broadway
performances that will be interpreted. Performance quality interpreters
spend weeks preparing for the interpretation of those performances.
Our policy is to hold our accessible seating to the very last minute, *
but once we sell out of all other seats, we must start to sell the seats
that we held in reserve for our patrons who might seek accommodations.
If you are interested in attending any of this season's Broadway
performances at Overture Center, please contact Jess at 608-258-4144, to
reserve your seats soon.
The remaining 2005/2006 scheduled sign language interpreted performance
at Overture Center are:
Movin' Out, Saturday, June 3, 2006 2:00 PM, interpreted by: Kris Orkin
and Erin Reed
Other events can be interpreted upon request when purchasing tickets.
If you intend to use this service or purchase tickets on behalf of
someone who will use this service, please inform the ticket office
staff. They can assist with seat selection for the best viewing of the
sign-language interpretation. The locations of the Interpreters change
from production to production.
To contact the ticket office, please call 608-258-4144 or TTY 608-258-4967

May 20: Shore to Shore ASL Story Hour
Hello families and those who work with them,
Shore to Shore will be holding its Saturday morning ASL Story Hour and
Parent Group on May 20th from 9:30am to 11:30am at 2120 Fordem Avenue.
This will be Shore to Shore’s last gathering until we meet again in
September. Due to personal reasons, I am taking a leave of absence.
Therefore we will not be offering a Summer Language Enrichment Program.
I apologize for any inconvenience.
If you would like to meet with other families this Saturday to make
connections throughout the summer, please join us.
We will be reading/signing Margaret Wise Brown’s “Big Red Barn”. We have
a BIG book so the kids should love it. Parents will receive information
on the following: developmental stages for deaf/hard of hearing and
hearing children, summer opportunities for families and children who are
deaf and hard of hearing, and battery recycling options.
We are providing both a sign language interpreter and a Spanish
interpreter for this Saturday. Please contact me if you have any questions.
