font-family:Arial'>Some of you may know about the book, “Everyone Here
Spoke Sign Language” by Nora Ellen Groce about the hereditary deafness on
<st1:place w:st="on">Martha’s Vineyard</st1:place>. Well, this weekend on
October 20 and 21st, there is a play based on the history and culture of the Deaf
community on <st1:place w:st="on">Martha’s Vineyard</st1:place>. The play
will be performed using both sign and voice and was talked about on the recent
NPR special on Thursday about Deaf culture. More information about the play is
below or you can go to <a href="http://www.vineyardplayhouse.org/playing.html">http://www.vineyardplayhouse.org/playing.html</a>
for more information about the playhouse. If you would be interested in going
to this, I grew up on <st1:place w:st="on">Cape Cod</st1:place> and could give
you some suggestions like which ferry to take, etc. Feel free to contact me!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
