Signing Time's Rachel Coleman, LIVE in Portland
**THIS EVENT HAS A STRICT REFUND POLICY. No refunds will be processed by Brown Paper Tickets more than 12 hours after the time of purchase without the authorization of the producer.**
Thousands of families in the Northwest have been touched by Signing Time, the hit PBS show that introduced American Sign Language to children across the Nation. Now, these families will be able to come and see her perform, alongside a life-size Hopkins, live in Portland, Oregon. During her stay in the Portland Metro Area, Coleman will also be speaking to a group of parents with Deaf children.
Portland's Signing Time Academy Instructors are proud to announce that Emmy-nominated Rachel Coleman, host of Signing Time, will be performing for children and families in Portland this spring. The Signing Time Foundation Academy Outreach Coordinator, Carissa Martos, is a Portland resident, and traveled with other members of the Signing Time Foundation to Ghana, West Africa in order to work with children in that continents oldest Deaf school, and she is thrilled to help bring this concert to her home city.
The Signing Time Foundation Community Event on May 19th will be held at noon at St, Philip Neri Church in Southeast Portland. Info and tickets are available at Portland.NWRachelEvents.com. 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.
