Lead Summary

Through a collaboration with Southern State Community College’s theatre department and the college’s American Sign Language (ASL) program, students will provide interpretation for one performance of ‘Pygmalion’ on Central Campus in Hillsboro.
Second-year ASL students Jessica Chamblin, Sally Miller and Adena Partin, along with program graduate Ayla Stirnaman, have volunteered to provide sign language interpretation for the 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 5, performance of the play.
“Even at the risk of sounding sappy, I’m excited to show off all that I’ve learned from our amazing teacher, Kathey Carroll, and our wonderful adviser through this project, Becca Wise,” said Chamblin. “I guess everyone will see how we managed on Saturday!”
Partin agreed: “This has been a wonderful experience. I can’t wait until Saturday so we show off our hard work.”
The sign language students have been balancing the demands of homework and jobs, while practicing alongside the cast throughout the rehearsal schedule.
“This has been a great experience for all of us. It’s been very hard, especially with all of our other school work,” said Stirnaman. “But on Saturday all our hard work will be shown, and it will be rewarding.”
“This has been a great experience,” said Miller. “It’s definitely been a challenge. True business!”
