CLC News The news and events from Central Lakes College
Minneapolis’ Mixed Blood Theatre’s production of The Deaf Duckling will be performed at Central Lakes College in the Chalberg Theatre at 10 am on Thursday, April 10, 2014. Playwright Aditi Kapil deftly weaves together the classic “Ugly Duckling” fairy tale with the story of a deaf child born into a hearing family. Performed simultaneously in American Sign Language and English, it offers a warm and insightful look at how one family bridges deaf and hearing cultures.
The Deaf Duckling is one of five culturally-specific productions toured this season by Mixed Blood Theatre, a Minneapolis-based multicultural theatre company founded in 1976. The others include the Chicano program Minnecanos; Dr. King’s Dream, a biography of the civil readers leader drawn from his own words; Black Eagle, a look at the life of Ron McNair, the African American scientist aboard the space shuttle Challenger; and Daughters of Africa, a music-driven history of African American women.
The event is free and open to the public.
