ASL-Interpreted Play - Peter and the Starcatcher

Theatre Raleigh is excited to be offering an ASL interpreted performance on June 21st of their production of Peter and the Starcatcher.

Summary:
The Tony-winning play, based on the best-selling novels, upends the century-old story of how an orphan boy becomes the legendary Peter Pan.

Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair… and the bonds of friendship, duty and love. Though not a musical, this play incorporates musical elements to create its magical storytelling. This production uses ingenious stagecraft and imaginative innovation to bring the story to life. While Peter and the Starcatcher is not considered a children’s show, it is appropriate for young people 8 years and older. Rated G

RiverRun International Film Festival - A New Perspective Shorts Program

A NEW PERSPECTIVE SHORTS PROGRAM

AFTER THE BOMB

In an era where the violence of war often leaves victims forgotten, a woman whose life was devastated by a bomb in Northern Ireland joins with fellow victims and survivors to fight for restitution and acknowledgment from an unresponsive government. Amidst her fight, she finds new healing in a friendship based on shared need, where one walks and the other sees.

AS WE ARE

As We Are sheds light on several neurodiverse adults grappling with challenges while pursuing their goals to live independently.

AT SEE

A group of blind travelers navigate a commercial cruise ship with their guide dogs.

SAVING SUPERMAN

When a local man with autism, known as the town hero, faces eviction, the community comes together when he needs saving.

SIGNS FROM THE MAINLAND

Starting as far back as the early 1700s, genetic deafness took a foothold on Martha’s Vineyard. As many as one in four residents were deaf, and a majority of hearing residents were able to communicate in what is considered one of the precursors to modern American Sign Language. Signs from the Mainland explores the deeper meaning and lessons to be learned from this unique enclave where deaf and hearing individuals coexisted seamlessly.

SWIMMING WITH BUTTERFLIES

After missing bronze by 1/100th of a second at the 2016 Paralympic Games, Austin-based swimmer Lizzi Smith shares an intimate story of how changing her self-perception didn’t just bring her back to the pool— it’s bringing hope to the next generation.
