Final weeks of touring

For our final two weeks of touring we stayed in the state of CT.  The state gave us a grant so that we could provide free performances to 5 elementary schools.  These schools were schools that do not have the budget to bring in special events.  We also gave a performance to the Boys and Girls Club of Hartford.  We had the most post show questions with this group.  One of the biggest lessons I have learned this season is how to answer the questions "Do they talk?"   During the show I am the only "voice".  For those who are encountering the Deaf world for the first time it can be confusing why they use their hands and not their voices.  Explaining that to a 3rd grader... well how would you?  Luckily I have two cast mates who answer it well.
