A Tough Act to Follow: Theatrical Interpreting (0.3)

  • Foothills Higher Ed. Center, Room 163 (Entrance near Zaxby's) 2128 South Sterling Street Morganton, NC, 28655 United States (map)

There’s no business like show business! Theatrical interpreting can be both simpler – and much more complex – than other interpreting assignments. This workshop will introduce you to theatrical terminology, venue structure and policies, and strategies for preparing for an interpreted performance such as script analysis, interactions with production staff, and teaming with your fellow interpreter(s). Our focus will be on interpreting for Deaf audiences at both touring shows and locally produced theatre. Workshop will include lecture, discussion, and hands-on activities.
