In the Lounge Show & Tale: My Favorite Thing Part II (ASL edition) Hosted by Martie McNabb
About This Show
‘‘My Favorite Things’’ is an iconic song for many reasons; our Favorite Thing is oftentimes, the most revealing of who we really are.
Did you keep your first business card? Or that napkin with the scribbled notes from the bar where your dreams were first conceived? Do you have a favorite spoon(s), mug, pen, or pair of boots? Do you have a lucky piece of clothing you wear on VIP days only? Have you kept cards, letters and thank you notes that you read, over and over, because they inspire you to persevere and keep going? Or do you have a favorite recipe you make when you’re feeling down or want to celebrate?
Aprons, clothing, kitchen gadgets, photos, paintings, jewelry, tools. . . ASL users are welcome to share their stories about their Favorite Thing. Every Thing has a story!
Show & Tale is like Antiques Roadshow meets The Moth, or your favorite Pinterest board come to life!
Remember you don’t have to show and tell. . .you can just look and listen; observers (and those with no ASL training) are welcome to join at this second edition in a language other than English.

American Sign Language (ASL) originated in the 19th century and is the sign language of North American deaf communities. Sadly, ASL users face stigma due to the belief in the superiority of oral language for communicating, but this Show & Tale is going to challenge that by asking participants to show and tell their stories using ASL with no voice interpretation at all!
