Watching Two Worlds Collide

Keith Wann is an acclaimed American Sign Language (ASL) performing artist who captivates and amuses audiences through his controlled chaos and pandemonium style comedy, frequently leaving his laughing audiences gasping for breath.

Born hearing to Deaf parents in California, Keith grew up living in both the hearing and Deaf worlds, and has been able to create unique perspectives on the ways of both worlds. This has evolved into a one-man show, Watching Two Worlds Collide, which takes a humorous look at both worlds.

Make plans to see Keith Wann perform on Friday, October 30 at the Bowen-Thompson Student Union Grand Ballroom from 7-8pm with doors opening at 6:30pm. This free event is sponsored by
F.I.G.U.R.E. Student Organization, Disability Services, Student Affairs Diversity Team, and the College of Education and Human Development. Questions? Contact F.I.G.U.R.E. representatives Maggie Doremus at rdoremu@bgsu.edu or Karyn Sleppy ksleppy@bgsu.edu.
