Stories are very powerful. Without them we do not feel complete. Why else do we still read books, watch movies, and buy tickets to theater shows? Try something different: Try Manny ASL!
STORIES FOR CHILDREN

Manny ASL became a father of a beautiful baby girl (he's actually a Mr. Mom) and is very much a natural storyteller for children. He knows how to establish rapport with children of all ages instantly and make them laugh with his wide-eyed antics. Good news--Manny ASL provides performances for children at various events such as birthday parties, school events, and festivals. His specialties include:

THE TODDLER'S ASL PLAYTIME (ages 0 to 5)

Given how popular ASL classes are with Deaf and hearing parents of newborn Deaf and hearing babies as a way of developing the baby's language acquisition skills, Manny ASL enjoys performing for toddlers. He is adept at accommodating the different levels of ASL and communication among toddlers so he is always clear. Manny ASL is expert in translating children's books into ASL so instead of hearing or reading a book in English only, both Deaf and hearing toddlers can see what the story means.

THE CHILDREN'S ASL STORYTELLING CLUB (ages 5 to 18)

Manny ASL has a vast repertoire of classic ASL stories that can fit just about any audience of children, whether they be totally into sports or comedy. Just ask!
STORIES FOR ADULTS

Manny is a renowned ASL storyteller whose ability to convey a cinematic sense of ASL is rarely equalled. Check out the clip from his first DVD here to see how he is able to show three men playing cards and getting called upstairs on an emergency. Other clips are posted here.
