Day 342 – Christmas in Sign

Unfortunately, Vinny and I had to cancel our plans for the 3rd Christmas party that was scheduled for this evening in Massachusetts with a group our friends. Therefore, I had to come up with something else for todays intention. I checked my areas local listings and found a very unique event going on just down the road that we popped on over to.

We attended the 27^th Annual Christmas in Sign. The Casino Theater here in Newport hosted the event. The event was actually free and open to the public which was nice as well. I have never been in this building before. Again, no detail was missed. The walls, ceilings, balcony seating and more just left us looking in awe. It is a fairly small venue but perfect for today’s event. 

So, after taking our seats- as the lights went down and the curtain went up, the lovely holiday music began. Under black lights the holiday songs were performed in sign language. The illuminated hands performed in unison to create a visual entertainment like I haven’t seen before. For one song Santa came out, for another Frosty the Snowman. And yet another the Virgin Mary and Joseph came out with baby Jesus in their hands- they made their way through the audience and onto the stage to deliver the baby into the basket as silent night was performed.

This was a very unique performance and experience and we were happy to have included this in our day. #HGAL
