Stone Deaf

By itself, the phrase "stone deaf" is a natural montage. We see two different meanings for that phrase. One meaning is that "one cannot hear at all" and the other is that "one completely ignores a plea." Thus, there are two frames of reference; in a sense, you see two montages for that phrase. The play "Stone Deaf" showcases historical pieces about the ongoing struggle of Deaf people against language oppression for the past 150 years. The two elements are both separate and unified in one story. The play is fast-moving and depicts many short scenes that are by itself creating montages.

Panel Discussion:
"The Changing Role of the Interpreter in the Deaf-World"

We are pleased to announce that this year's panel discussion will address "The Changing Role of the Interpreter in the Deaf-World." This discussion will feature Trenton Marsh, CDI, Larry Forestahl, Ph.D., and Anne Leahy, RID CI/CT and NAD V. The discussion will be lead by Dr. Dale Boam, the director of UVSC's interpreter preparation programs.
