Information
Whistle Down the Wind revolves around the time and place where the word teenager was invented. Swallow struggling to come to terms with the death of her mother discovers a mysterious stranger whom she believes is Jesus. In a town where a miracle is long overdue the children fight to protect him from an adult world determined to find an escaped convict hiding in their midst. As fantasy and reality collide, Swallow is torn between the two and begins to discover who she is and where she is going. Andrew Lloyd Webbers emotive score combines hauntingly beautiful love songs and explosive rock music with lyrics by acclaimed rock n roll songwriter Jim Steinman. This exciting integration of Sign Language and deaf culture adds yet another layer to this poignant story of belonging understanding and faith. Every performance of Whistle Down the Wind will be fully bilingual in American Sign Language (ASL) and spoken English.
