Signing Time's Rachel Coleman, LIVE in Burbank
Thousands of families in the Los Angeles Area have been touched by Signing Time, the hit PBS show that introduced American Sign Language to children across the Nation. Now, for the first time, these families will be able to come and see her perform, live in Burbank, California, as well as get to meet with her at the concert.
Christine Fitzgerald who teaches ASL vocabulary to babies, children and families at WE SIGN FAMILY is proud to announce that Emmy-nominated Rachel Coleman, host of Signing Time, will be performing for children and families in Burbank this spring. The Signing Time Foundation Community Event on March 26th will be held at 3:30pm at Luther Burbank Middle School. Info and tickets are available at www.Signingtimefoundation.org/burbank. The event will be interpreted in American Sign Language for our Deaf and Hard-of Hearing patrons.
Coleman, who co-created Signing Time as a means to teach children of all abilities how to communicate using American Sign Language (ASL), has seen firsthand the miracles that can come from using sign language. As the mother of a daughter who is deaf, and another who has cerebral palsy and spina bifida, Coleman has spent the last few years making sign language fun and accessible for all children through the Signing Time series. Whether used by a pre-verbal infant, a non-verbal child with disabilities, or a family who simply wants to learn ASL as a second language, Signing Time reaches children with diverse learning styles and encourages interaction through signing, singing, speaking and moving.
For the past seven years, Signing Time has been dedicated to proving the benefits and positive impact of sign language on children of all abilities. While most people regard sign language as something only for the Deaf community, thousands of parents are seeing that all children can accelerate their language and reading development through the unique blend of sign language, written word, song and video modeling used in Signing Time.
This event is only made possible through ticket sales, company sponsors and individual donors. Also essential are the volunteers who will be giving their time and energy. All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Signing Time Foundation. Donations made online or at the concert will also benefit the Signing Time Foundation, and will be tax-deductible.

Q&A
| Question: |
do we have to purchase vip tickets in order to meet & take pics with rachel, or will she do that after the show as well? |
| Answer: |
Rachel is doing a meet and greet after the concert as well, but the lines can be long. Some people would prefer to get the better seats, get more time with her, and get to leave when the concert is over, as opposed to waiting. |
