"WATCHING TWO WORLDS COLLIDE"

KEITH WANN - ASL Comedian 
May 20, 2006 7:00pm 
Austine School for the Deaf - Gymnasium 
209 Austine Drive, Brattleboro, VT 

Keith Wann is an acclaimed American Sign Language (ASL) performing artist
who has been captivating and amusing audiences with his controlled chaos and
total pandemonium explosions on stage, often leaving his laughing audiences
gasping for breath. As a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA), he has traveled all
over the nation performing for ASL students, various Deaf Communities and
other warped CODAs like himself.

Come and enjoy a night of storytelling and Deaf Culture. Laugh with Keith as
he takes you on a hilarious ASL"visual" journey to describe his childhood
experiences. Come learn about the Deaf and Hearing Worlds and how they often
clash with the help of a mischievous child of deaf adults. . . 

Born hearing to Deaf parents in California, Keith grew up living in both the
hearing and Deaf worlds, and has been able to create unique perspectives on
the ways of both worlds. This has evolved into a one man show, "Watching Two
Worlds Collide," which takes a humorous, almost shocking, look at both
worlds.
