Sound Theatre Company Presents ASL A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

Sound Theatre Company is proud to present ASL MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM -- a new adaptation of William Shakespeare's script, Sound Theatre's second production in its 2018 Season, THE HUMAN FAMILY: Toward A Radical Inclusion. In 2018, we challenge our audiences to consider how we define family, what members of the human family we include, and whose stories we choose to tell.

ASL MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM is an inclusive re-telling of Shakespeare's classic, with the hands as well as the heart..."Give me your hands, if we be friends, and Robin shall restore amends." All shows are bilingual in ASL American Sign Language / Spoken English.

Previews begin Thursday, April 19th & April 20th at 8pm. The official press opening is Saturday April 21st at 8pm and the show will run until May 11th, 2018 at 8pm. There will be a relaxed sensory performance on Saturday, May 5th at 2:00 pm.

All shows will be held at 12th Avenue Arts Mainstage at 1620 12th Ave, Seattle, WA.
