Morgan’s important essay on this issue of infantilization of trans people (and women, and black and brown people, and disabled people)…

Monstrous Children On infantilization

April (played by Brie Doyle) is confused… if Iris’s mom is now a papa, then who IS Iris’s mom?

Papa (played by Davrielle) tackles this and other awkward questions in Real Me, our touring show that has something for everyone.

Say “congratulations!” Say “thank you for trusting me and sharing that with me!”

Seeking ASL and Deaf interpreters who are interested in joining a free and supported professional development program to learn and grow their skills for interpretation for the stage.

Interpreters will have the mentorship of two leading ASL interpreters, Carmelle Cachero and Elizabeth Morris, to grow their skills in interpretation for performance. Interpreters selected for this program will observe and shadow the mentors during two GCTC productions. Then, during a third production, mentees will interpret a section of the show in front of a live audience and receive feedback from Deaf audience members.

This opportunity will give interpreters a chance to learn and grow their ASL skills from a culturally informed Deaf perspective, from ASL interpreter leaders in the National Capital Region and meet industry professionals in the performing arts.

Applications are due September 2nd 11:59 PM EST. More information about this program is available on our website, at gctc.ca/asl-training-arts.
