We were graced by two American Sign Language signers for this show. Was wondering how they divided up the signing. They were wonderful and we gave them a bow at the end.

The show started and I saw someone in the second row singing the songs, it was our friend Nedra Dixon who I toured in Godspell with and is also a HAIR alumni who lives in Kansas City. Talk about a small world! Pictured, Nedra's hubby, Heather McRae, Nedra Dixon and Zenobia
