Subject: Emma’s House of Sound

There will be a small play at Limelight based on a true story about a deaf girl who struggles to make friends with hearing children at a public school. She helps the hearing children understand what it is like to live in a world without sound by orchestrating a choir with make-believe instruments. The students play the instruments without sound. Emma, played by Mara Stultz, signs throughout the play… The play will be interpreted all 3 nights of Sunday, May 24, Monday May 25 and Tuesday May 26 at 7:30 p.m. It will be a good idea to call ahead to reserve your seats since seating is limited. Call (904) 825-1164.
Limelight is at 11 Old Mission Road next to the Ramada Inn close to the Mission of Nombre di Dios (large cross).

The Limelight Theatre’s KIDZFACTORY is working with local author Mary Jane Hayes to produce her original play entitled “Emma’s house of Sound.” Based on a true story, the play tells the story of Emma, a deaf girl, who faces the challenges of attending public school and trying to communicate with her classmates.
Actors will use Sign Language. Show dates are May 24, 25, and 26th. Contact the Limelight for times and additional information.
The Limelight Theatre is located at 11 Old Mission Ave. 825-1164
