On March 4, MLWGS ASL students will see the Barksdale performance of "Children of a Lesser God.” The play outlines the differences between hearing and deaf worlds and is performed through speaking as well as signing.
Ms. Brenda Thornton, views this as a learning experience for ASL classes.
“[Children of a Lesser God] speaks really clearly about struggles deaf people face,” said Ms. Thornton. “It’s a difficult play to do, but Barksdale has done it very well.”
"It should be interesting," said Aleshia Busjahn ('10) ASL student. "I've never seen a deaf play before, and I'm looking forward to learning more about deaf culture."
