Quick question about a monologue choice: would doing a monologue from the miracle worker be a good idea or bad idea? And this may be a completely stupid question so don’t judge me… But if you do one of Annie’s monologue, should you learn the sign language for it? Or would that look weird?
Anne didn’t use sign language in the way we’ve come to know it (ASL). The signs she used were placed in Keller’s hands. Since you won’t be doing the piece with anyone else on stage, there would be no reason for you to “do” the signs. Unless I don’t recall some moment in the show where it happens otherwise.
