Linda Bove whose acting credits include Linda the Librarian from TV’s Sesame Street, and Sarah, the lead character, in the Broadway production of Children of a Lesser God.

Ed Waterstreet, Artistic Director with Deaf West Theater, will provide an enlightenment on their professional career and they both will perform a poem in ASL.

Switched at Birth - Yeah - I met the whole cast! it hard to take picture but while i still look for the missing picture here are some of the stars i met- I was great to perform alone with other Great Deaf Artists!
