NAU decided to put on the play "Mother Hicks" this fall. It is a play about accepting people for who they are and to not be judgmental. I found out about this play because it had a Deaf character and they would use sign language in the play through a story teller. I won't go into the politics that came with this play because that isn't something I got involved with but not everyone was excited about this play.
What I will say about my experience is how much courage that storyteller had to have to even attempt to sign. I will also say that when Mikkel saw it, he was excited to see new signs and walked away with a very positive attitude. I think the play offended some and inspired others. It just depends on which person you were and what your perspective was. I am so glad that Mikkel took the stance that he did. It was a joy to go with him!
