During American Sign Language (ASL) performances, skilled theatrical Interpreters translate spoken words and/or sung lyrics into sign language to assist guests with understanding the performance. The Interpreters work with a Deaf ASL Consultant to translate the production into American Sign Language. The audience can see both the Interpreters and the stage action simultaneously from a designation are of the performance space.
