On January 4, 2008, Bruce Street School students went to Montclair, New Jersey to see the play, Treasure Island. This production was an adaptation of the1883 adventure novel by Robert Lewis Stevenson. The entire show was performed simultaneously in American Sign Language and spoken English. Bruce Street students were very excited to see the show. They were thrilled to see actresses and actors using sign language on the stage. Each deaf actor had a voice interpreter. The beauty of sign language was combines with the musical score and spoken dialog to produce an amazing theatre experience for our students to see.

Cast members meet and greet the children after each performance, signing autographs and having their pictures taken with new friends from the audience. Therefore, after the show, the Bruce Street students had the opportunity to meet the actors. They were able to ask questions of and take pictures with the actors.
