ASL performance of ‘It Pays to Advertise’

CAPE MAY – An American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation of the comedy, "It Pays to Advertise," produced by the East Lynne Theater Company, will show at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 12 at The First Presbyterian Church of Cape May, 500 Hughes St., where the company is in residence.

The theatrical ASL interpreters are Kathy Filippo and Gina Lanza, who have performed many times for ELTC. The process involves them seeing the production at least once, plus going over the script several times to figure out who will interpret which roles, and in many cases, come up with signage for unusual names and words.   

The cast includes Tom Byrn, Glen Corlin, Max Baxter Luceno, John Cameron Weber, Phil Pizzi, Thomas Raniszewski, Kate Shine, Maria Silverman, and Gayle Stahlhuth, who also directs. Stage manager Lee O’Connor steps into a cameo role.

The comedy runs through Oct. 13 with an 8 p.m. curtain.

Tickets are $30 for general admission; $25 for seniors (ages 62 and over); and $15 for full-time students. Ages 12 and under are free.
