Still image from What Are You . . . Deaf?

Features comedian/actor/writer/performance artist CJ Jones in a one-man show based on his life experiences.

He confronts the sometimes absurd misconceptions that transpire between the hearing and the deaf. Combines voice, American Sign Language (ASL), and mime, along with recorded music and multimedia projections. Voice-over narration and interpretation by Paul Raci. NOTE: Contains some profanity.
