Switched at Birth Cast
The folks over at ABC Family announced yesterday details on a very special event coming to Disneyland Resort during the weekend of March 17-18. Downtown Disney District will host a celebration of creativity in the deaf community called SIGNin’ in the Street that will feature interactive workshops, film screenings and appearances by the stars of Switched at Birth, including Katie Leclerc, Vanessa Marano, Constance Marie, Lea Thompson, D.W. Moffett, Lucas Grabeel, Sean Berdy and Academy Award winner Marlee Matlin.
Also, two episodes of Switched at Birth as well as an exclusive sneak preview of the spring finale, will be screened at AMC Theatres on Saturday, March 17. Tickets to the screenings will be limited, so make sure to check back at ABC Family to find out more details.
The Switched at Birth cast will be on hand earlier in the day for panel Q&A sessions, as well as autograph signings.
Throughout the weekend, AMC Theatres will show two feature films, The Hammer, based on the life of triple NCAA champ and pro wrestler Matt Hamill, and the award-winning documentary See What I’m Saying. Stars from the films will host Q&A sessions, sign autographs and perform live.
Other highlights of interactive weekend include:
Musical performances by Tony Award-winning Deaf West Theatre, including a sneak preview of the group’s upcoming world premiere, and workshops for guests interested in learning American Sign Language and acting
Drum Café, the internationally acclaimed drumming crew, will super-charge the audience through interactive performances and workshops
Nighttime concerts by popular deaf performers, including singer-signer TL Forsberg, rock band Beethoven’s Nightmare and comic CJ Jones.
Specially created Disney merchandise featuring American Sign Language.
The super fun entertainment kicks off at 1 PM both days and continues until 9 PM on Saturday and 8 PM on Sunday.
I just wanted to say when i first watched the show, I knew instantly that I would like it. I’m hard of hearing/deaf myself and very fluent in sign language but I’m not around enough deaf people to keep a hang of my very first language. The show is just very inspirational and truly would touch people’s heart about the switch and how (those who are) deaf cope with most people not accepting them for who they are or how it really is hard to try and fit in or date someone (who is) totally different from the hearing world. Just wanted to say I love the show!
Audrey: I’m glad you like “Switched at Birth”. It is a fun show to watch, and does teach a lot about tolerance and understanding. Please note that I made a few corrections to your comment simply because the show is not mine, I just report on it and many, many more TV shows; but thank you so much for taking the time to visit my site and for making a comment.
