Determined to find closure behind the true meaning of her dreams, she leads viewers on a hilarious and charming quest to find what she truly hopes will be the sister she’d been dreaming of. Bumping into improbable situations and unique characters along the way, Hedy finally finds the woman she believes to be her sister.
Her abrupt arrival quickly causes discord in the family. Heidi’s busy life is soon thrown into disarray by the arrival of this quirky and seemingly incompetent stranger. With an increasingly frustrated husband and two teenage boys, Heidi is forced to learn how to balance life and Hedy’s shenanigans. Will Heidi reach a breaking point? Can Hedy ever win the love of her new family?
This film is bound to delight audiences of all ages, and is guaranteed to have you gasping in laughter and leave you grinning.

Event: Deaf Studies Talk with Ben Jarashow
Message: “To be Disabled or not to be Disabled, That’s the Question”
The Deaf community has always had a complicated relationship with the label and idea of being disabled or having a disability. There are those who accept the label and there are those who refuse to, and this workshop will discuss why we have such polarizing views. To those who think so, why is such a label unacceptable? The main focus of this lecture will be on why the label of disability has had such a negative impact on the deaf community.
Presented in American Sign Language. This event is limited to 100 seats only! No children please!

Event: ASL Poet, Jeremy Lee Sanchez at Utah Arts Festival
Message: Join ASL slam poet Jeremy Lee Sanchez to explore the art of poetry in American Sign
Language (ASL). ASL poetry is a dynamic, 3-dimensional art form. No experience with ASL needed! And don’t miss Jeremy’s performance on the Big Mouth Stage—Saturday at 3:30 pm!
Bio: Slam poet and educator Jeremy Lee Sanchez was born and raised in New York City. He attended a school for the Deaf and his interest in language continues to guide his learning experience. He began to understand that ASL could be used as an artistic expression and simultaneously provide a different perspective. Jeremy started sharing his storytelling videos on a variety of social media. Seeing the passion for the language, he quickly became energized to provide a comfortable and applicable curriculum that would give students an opportunity to develop language skills while maintaining the artistry and creativity of ASL.

Event: Deaf Studies Talk with Ben Jarashow
Message: “Audism & Linguicism”
The presenter, Ben Jarashow, will focus on the general theory of oppression and the different levels involved, with a focus on audism and linguicism. We will go through the history of the two terms, how they came to be in our consciousness, and learn how to identify them in various situations. This presentation is excellent for audiences who have little to no experience with or knowledge of Deaf people and their culture. Deaf people may also learn more about their own culture and share their experiences.
Presented in American Sign Language. This event is limited to 100 seats only! Presented in American Sign Language. If you need other ADA accommodations, please contact Mary Beth Baierl before Tuesday, September 19, 2017.

Event: Deaf Awareness Movie Night: “IN THE CAN” starring Nyle DiMarco
Message: by ASL Films - Movie made by Deaf Filmmakers (Rated PG-13). FREE ADMISSION! Refreshments will be
provided! (Trailer)
Synopsis: Nicky, an aspiring young director, has the dream of every filmmaker: that one day he'd make it big in Hollywood. His dream suddenly comes true in the form of a mysterious stranger, Lou Lumire, who is a self-proclaimed Hollywood producer. Lumire has the ultimate once-in-a-lifetime offer for Nicky: to direct his very first feature film production!
After the ink dries on the contract, Nicky realizes there's one catch: in order for him to finally live out his dream, he has to arrange everything by himself: hiring the actors and crew, renting the filmmaking equipment, and writing a screenplay within a matter of several days which is a proposition very daunting even for a seasoned filmmaker.
Running against time to pull off his own movie, Nicky's sanity teeters on the edge until he finds out a surprising revelation about Lou Lumire. He discovers that Lumire is not who he said he is. Also, a tragic situation with one of the actors ultimately blows up in Nicky's face. Trapped by his bad luck and ill-fated decisions, Nicky struggles to find a way out of the serious chaos that he got himself into.

Event: Deaf Studies Talk with Ben Jarashow
Message: "Taming the Monster: Eric Malzkuhn vs. Jabberwocky!"
In this presentation, we will discuss how Eric "Malz" Malzkuhn's attempts of translating Lewis Carroll's nonsense poem, Jabberwocky, from English to ASL, helped catapult his career as an ASL storyteller and actor. Malz's translation brought him into the limelight and got him into the National Theater for the Deaf, as well as a place of honor in ASL Literature. We may wonder what is so special about Malz's translation and the poem itself, and we will go through that in this presentation.

Event: Deaf Studies Talk with Ben Jarashow
Message: "Deaf Clubs: The Past, The Present, and The Future"
In this presentation, we will take a look at the history of deaf clubs, what it meant to the Deaf community, the role it played in the lives of Deaf people, and how deaf clubs have evolved over time. We have noticed a sharp decline in deaf clubs in the last decade or so, and there are various theories as to why they’re disappearing. This leads us to wonder what will become of deaf clubs in the future. Also to be discussed is the question of if deaf clubs are disappearing or have they simply evolved?
