Ordinary kid, Stanley Lambchop is asleep in his bed one night when a bulletin board falls on him.  The next morning he wakes up flat.  At first, being flat is not so bad.  He can slide under locked doors.  His friends fly him like a kite.  Stanley is the best in his class at hide-and-seek.  If he has to be flat, he is going to make the best of it.  Stanley decides to put himself in a big envelope and travel the world as a human letter.  The musical follows his adventures as he strives to become three dimensional again.

Recommended for grades: Pre K-5, ages 4 and up

Throughout the school year, the Arvada Center offers several performances of this unique art form so children with special needs can enjoy and participate in live theater alongside their peers.

Shadow-interpreted theater utilizes specially trained American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters to perform as “shadows” on stage alongside actors. Shadow theater marries sign language with choreographed movement, allowing the sign language to become a seamless part of the theater experience.  In this way, audience members who are deaf, hard of hearing or language delayed can simultaneously see and “hear” the complete theater performance in the same way as hearing audiences.  Shadow theater is also enjoyed by hearing audiences as an innovative art form and educational opportunity.  Similar to watching a film with subtitles, viewers benefit from a rich bilingual experience and gain an appreciation for another language.

Hope you can join us for this very special production!
