The Rosa Lee Show

Greetings!

The summer is just around the corner! We have had a LOOONNGG winter here in New England so its a treat to be able to enjoy outdoors for a change. I have had two shows since I last blogged. One was at Fulton, Missouri and the other at London, England. The first one was a William Woods University’s Hands Up Club event. They invited me and Robert Love Jr to do our one person show. Robert is an old friend of mine and his show was his first big gig so it was extra special for us to do show there.

William Woods University ASL interpreting program is one of twenty-three Interpreting Bachelor’s Degree Programs offered throughout the United States and Canada so there were a lot of ASL students and some deaf community members attending the show. My show went very well and I received a standing ovation. Their hospitality was awesome. I also met with several high school and college buddies while I was there so it was altogether a pleasure. No opportunity to take any pictures while I was there so there isn’t any to post here.

The following weekend, me and Damon headed out to London to do a show at their ASLI conference. It was my first international show ever and boy, oh, boy… I was a nervous wreck! I don’t think I have ever been as nervous as I was when I did a show there. I had to learn BSL within 2 days so that I can do my show with some BSL in it. I received warm response but I can’t say that my show went very well. I managed to get some laughter and inspiring compliments from the audience but overall, I don’t think I was that funny. Hehe. Someone said that British humor is usually dry so all in all, it was a humbling experience. On the plus side, I get to see old friends such as Oliver Pouliot, Louise Stern and I made new British friends as well.

Here are some pictures of the show.

My next show will be at Columbus, Ohio. Let’s hope I’m funny this time around.

Be well,
Rosa Lee
