Bringing the Stage to Life: Performance Interpreting Workshop Tour

09/08/2026

We are in Mexico! We wanted to give you a sneak peek at the school we are supporting! We are packing the school with supplies, electronics, food, and additional needs to kick off the school year. We want to raise a bit more money to purchase needed air conditioners, purchase more supplies/electronics, help with their $150/day gas bill, and to finish their new building! Can you help? Visit: https://www.gatecommunications.org/mexico2026 to make a tax-deductible donation! Every single dollar will help CMM help impoverished Deaf kids with no legal status in Mexico!

NASHVILLE'S HEARTBREAK

It's a big day in Nashville. We lost a legend. Nashville can hardly breathe without Dolly Parton. Years ago one of our students with Downs signed a Dolly song. We thought it woud be nice to post it in honor of the amazing lady we lost.

We were so excited to welcome Michelle Murray Swope to BSL NASHVILLE 2026! Michelle is an industry stylist and the founder of award winning Encore Off Main ! We are grateful she spent time with us educating us on how to manage our look as sign language interpreters! Every performance interpreter knows we fight humidity, heat, rain, perspiration and our own unique hair and skin challenges. Her wisdom helped us tackle those needs! Thank you Michelle for your hard work, your wisdom, and your inspiration!
