Subject: Life Stories Documentary

Filmmaker William Davenport has made a 20-min documentary about Life Stories theater, which brings together UO students and adults with disabilities from the local community to create a play together. We'll be doing the class again in Spring 2018 as ENG 399: Living Theater, and we have received a UO Fund for Community-Engaged Teaching grant and a private donation to support the production. The next show will be ASL-shadowed if we get enough signer/actors signed up! We welcome students, actors, writers, techies, volunteers, and playgoers. Here's the link to the documentary:

Please spread the word!

The class counts for English and for the new Disability Studies Minor.

Thanks!
