Laurent Clerc, in his 53 years in America, positively inspired an education system for deaf individuals and advocated for the equality and well being of all deaf Americans.
Bio-sketch: Albert Hlibok was born deaf, received a construction engineering degree from
Manhattan College, New York City. Advocacy, history and traveling are his favorite hobbies. He was involved in many communities such as President of Empire State Association for three terms, and co-founder of American Professional Society of the Deaf. Now he is on the board of Lexington School for the Deaf. Married and retired, he and his wife, Peggy have four children, and ten grandchildren. Recognizing that Laurent Clerc was not recognized by the general public, Hlibok has taken an intensive interest in the subject. His e-mail address is Pahlibok@aol.com.

The Joad family flees the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma for the promise of work and prosperity in California.

Broadway’s Tony Award© winning musical-comedy phenomenon takes you back to 1962 Baltimore, as 16-year old Tracy Turnblad sets out to dance her way onto TV’s most popular show. Can a big girl with big dreams-and even bigger hair!-change the world…and still have time to win the boy she loves? This mega-hit is piled bouffant-high with laughter and romance. As The New York Time says, “If life were everything it should be, it would be more like HAIRSPRAY. It’s irresistible!”
19 – “A Season of Hope and Growth”, Indianapolis Men’s Chorus (For address and tickets: 925-3040 (v/tty); chuckdaube@aol.com), 8:00 pm Interpreter: Chuck Daube. We grow and share our vision as we share the stage with Brenda Williams in an evening of jazz and popular music.

Revel in a purely entertaining fantasy of lovers lost in the woods and war waged among the fairies. Mix lovers and fairies together, add confusion brought about by one Robin Goodfellow, commonly known as Puck, and laughter reigns. Crown this enjoyment with a merry band of low comics who meet by moonlight to present a ridiculous play at the Duke's wedding and the enjoyment of Shakespeare's best-loved comedy is yours.
9 – “ Starshine”, Indpls Women’s Chorus at the Indiana Historical Society, 8:00 pm Interpreter: Jayne Kercheval. Tickets: bjayne2@comcast.net A starry night of songs such as “When you Wish Upon a Star”, “Swingin’ on a Star,” “Stardust,” “ Catch a Falling Star” and more.

She wants to paint their portrait and include it in her next prestigious show. Between poetry and packing, painting and cocktails, Mags is caught in a paradox, wanting to expose yet dignify, to criticize yet celebrate her fragile parents in this funny, powerful drama.

The Deaf Hoosiers fell to visiting Indiana 1A ranked #8 Bethesda Christian, 79-67 at our home court.
