Meet the Artist: Director of Artistic Sign Language Regan Thibodeau

At the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine, we view storytelling as an act of community. It’s about connection, creativity, and finding new ways to ensure that every audience member can fully experience the magic on stage. CMTM’s upcoming production of STELLALUNA marks the first time ASL has been fully integrated into a CMTM theatrical production, and that work is being guided by a Director of Artistic Sign Language, or DASL.

In this Q&A, we chatted with Regan Thibodeau, the DASL for STELLALUNA, about what a DASL does, how American Sign Language (ASL) is woven into this production, and why gesture, effort, and creative connection are so powerful in the theatre, especially for young audiences.
