Deaf Actor Hopes More People Learn Sign Language
JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. – Ashley Reuss can’t hear the director’s calls during productions of “The Firebird” because she is deaf. “So, I have to make sure that my lines and my timing are exact… I’m watching all the body language of all the people,” Reuss said through an interpreter. “I don’t want to miss something, I have to make sure I remember each line and remember each movement.”

Feb 08, 2011: 09:01 PMI'm glad to see this. I am almost retirement age now but I worked at TexasSD for two years. I want more people to sign also. I am pretty good and talk in front of deaf/hard of hearing/hearing groups. One thing groups like that need to understand is that the mode used by the speaker will vary. I would really love to leave out pronouns and some prepositions. If a person voices my signing, I get confused if they do not get my meaning across. So I do it all myself. I am saying too much. Rusty
