CAPE MAY— On Friday, July 2 at 8:30 p.m., there will be an American Sign Language Interpretation of “Emma Goldman: My Life,” produced by the Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company.
Written and performed by Lorna Lable and directed by Karen Case Cook, “Emma” has been praised by audiences and reviewers alike who find it entertaining, thought provoking and timely.
The theatrical ASL interpreters are Kathy Filippo and Gina Lanza, who have performed many times for ELTC. The process involves them seeing the production at least once, plus going over the script several times to figure out who will interpret which roles, and in many cases, come up with signage for unusual names and words.
Tickets are $28 general admission; $23 for seniors and those with disabilities and their support companions; and $13 for full-time students. Children ages 12 and under are always free.
The location is The First Presbyterian Church, 500 Hughes St., Cape May, where the company is in residence. “Emma Goldman” runs every Wednesday through Saturday through July 10 only. For information and reservations, call 609-884-5898 or visit www.eastlynnetheater.org. To make a reservation using a credit card, call 866-280-9211.
The production of “Emma Goldman: My Life” would not be possible without season sponsors Curran Investment Management, Aleathea’s Restaurant, La Mer Beachfront Inn, and funding received through grants from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, the New Jersey Department of State, Division of Travel and Tourism, and the generosity of many patrons.
