          <title>Sign Language Interpreter Sees Job As A Ministry</title>

JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. &#8211; For M.J. Light, joining the cast of &#8220;The Firebird&#8221; at the Jonesborough Repertory Theatre was a serious challenge.

At 22, the Bluff City woman has been working for five years as a sign language interpreter for East Tennessee State University and other schools. She also serves on a team of interpreters at the Celebration Church of Blountville, Tenn.

Light developed an interest in sign language a few years ago while being home-schooled. She met a deaf woman and studied sign language. She also took courses at ETSU and earned a national interpreter&#8217;s certification.

&#8220;I felt the calling into it kind of as a ministry as well as a profession,&#8221; Light said.

Theater Staging Two Plays At Once &#8211; One For The Hearing And One For The Deaf


JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. &#8211; You cannot clap and get your point across.

The deaf, after all, cannot hear you banging your hands together.

So instead, you must flail your hands above your head &#8211; and wiggle them wildly.

And then come the smiles, along with the clapping, at the conclusion of the Jonesborough Repertory Theatre&#8217;s current production of &#8220;The Firebird.&#8221;

This is kind of like a split screen &#8211; or a split stage, you should say &#8211; with two plays going on at once: one for the hearing and one for the deaf.

And yet, it&#8217;s really only one. It feels like only one in that the actors all mesh together &#8211; the ones who can hear and the three who have no hearing.

          <description><![CDATA[
JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. &#8211; Ashley Reuss can&#8217;t hear the director&#8217;s calls during productions of &#8220;The Firebird.&#8221;

She is deaf.

&#8220;So, I have to make sure that my lines and my timing [are] exact, so I&#8217;m watching all the body language of all the people,&#8221; Reuss said through an interpreter. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to miss something. So, I have to make sure I remember each line and remember each movement.&#8221;

A recent arrival to Johnson City from Washington, D.C., Reuss, 24, plays the role of the &#8220;Signing Duke&#8221; in the current production of &#8220;The Firebird,&#8221; now on stage through Oct. 12 at the Jonesborough Repertory Theatre.

&#8220;I think this play is going to be interesting for everyone &#8211; people who are deaf, hard of hearing or involved with the deaf community,&#8221; Reuss said. &#8220;Anyone who is interested in sign language will love it.&#8221;
