JONESBOROUGH REPERTORY THEATRE

Mye of Tantamee, a young storyteller in search of inspiration, wanders into the wacky land of Yarbankian and the fun begins.  In no time, with the help of the Sandpeople, Mungo the Music Maker, and the audience, Mye is caught up in a quest to help the beautiful deaf Empress Imperia recover her happiness (which was stored in a magic egg and subsequently stolen by the mysterious Bork).  From the opening scene to the dance marathon at the end, audience members of all ages are swept along by the magic, music and mayhem.

Mye and the Sandpeople is a Stage Hands production. Stage Hands uses both spoken English and American Sign Language to communicate dialogue while acting out each play. The group takes both classic stories and the art of theatre into area schools. At the same time, Stage Hands introduces hearing children to the beauty of American Sign Language and Deaf culture.
