Returning to the stage!

G'day Everyone.

The lights come on. The curtain rises. Comes out on stage is...Sherlock Steve?! Well, it's true! I am making a return to theater. It's not the Deaf Theater of which I want to be in. But, I'm a play. A hearing community league theater play to be exact in my hometown.
This past Sunday night became the point of change in my life in the moment when I decided I'd go out and try for a part in a play called "The Reluctant Dragon". Apparently I did well enough to get a small part of play. I may well be the first deaf actor on a hearing team of players. What's my big contribution? My voice. I must have made a good impression on the director to get this part.

So for the next several weeks, I got lines to remember, rehearsals, and getting to know the theater. I'm in for a fun and new experience. The last time I was on stage was back in my NTID days. I always hoped I'd return to the stage. I wanted to be on stage when I was at Gallaudet. But my enjoyment to be on a football team and helping around the field house kept me from that. I don't mind it.

I've finally made it back to the stage. Even if it was to get a small part. I will be documenting the experience here and share you all a good story. Heck, I'm going to find out if I can get interpreters for the play this time. If I do, I'll let you all know.

Thanks Mr. Cushman for teaching me theater. I have never forgotten you.

Semper FI.
