Signed (ASL) Performance Friday, March 21

Dobama Theatre announces a special signed performance of the gritty urban
drama In the Blood on Friday, March 21. American Sign Language (ASL)
interpreters will be signing along with the production so that deaf or
hard-of-hearing patrons can better enjoy the play.

Dobama's March production of Suzan-Lori Parks' In the Blood has received
funding from the Ohio Arts Council in the form of a grant.  Part of this
funding is earmarked for signed and audio-described performances.

Dobama Theatre is also equipped with a hearing-assistance system for its
hard-of-hearing patrons, who simply notify the theatre of their special need
at the time of their reservation.  Dobama Theatre has a website, at
www.dobama.org.  The theatre does not offer electronic ticketing at this
time, but patrons can make reservations via email at dobama at core.com for the
signed performance.
