My Father's Gift

Growing up, Windell has always seen his father and mother recount their life story, and Windell got to see firsthand ASL storytelling, living the experiences and feeling the jolt from the twists and turns, even if it was the hundredth time he had seen the story. Seeing and feeling these ASL stories led Windell to the creation of a live show in order to share his parent's beautiful story with the twists and turns he beheld growing up in a Deaf home. Audiences get a taste of emotions: laughter, joy, sadness, hurt, frustration and uplifting moments that will leave the audience with courage and interest. Hopefully experiencing these moments can not only put each audience member's life in perspective but also their view of the Deaf community and CODAs.
