Musical theatre major Aidan Black’s interest in American Sign Language was sparked in high school. So when he was choosing a language credit at UWM, he signed up for an ASL course in UWM’s School of Education.
Now ASL is an integral part of his role in the Skylight Music Theatre’s production of “Spring Awakening,” which incorporates deaf and hearing actors. The Tony-award winning rock musical is based on an earlier play about teen angst and sexual awakening in the 19th century. It opens March 1 and runs through March 17 at Skylight, 158 N. Broadway in Milwaukee.
