May 24, 2008.  Deaf West Theatre officially launches its Spring series of “ASL STORY TIME” Workshops for deaf and hearing children and their parents, at its mainstage in North Hollywood. The one-hour interactive workshops are held every Saturday from 10:00am to 11:00am, March 22 – May 24. Admission is FREE. Cited as a parent friendly/kid enjoyable experience in many magazines including Los Angeles Magazine and listed as “a hidden treasure” in L.A. Parent Magazine’s Best of L.A., ASL STORY TIME offers children (ages 5-13) the opportunity to enjoy the written word through a visual language, ASL (American Sign Language), each workshop features professional deaf actors performing well-known children’s stories in ASL, with spoken English translation for hearing children and parents. After each story is performed, the children get to create their own story characters on stage -- learning new signs, stage presentation -- and how to change written words into living characters.  The workshops begin Saturday, March 22nd at 10:00am. This program is supported by the “Arts Connect All” grant, administered by VSA arts and MetLife Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, Target Foundation and Thelma Pearl Howard Foundation.  Deaf West Theatre is located at 5112 Lankershim Blvd. (S. of Magnolia Blvd), North Hollywood.
