Nobody’s Perfect

Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 7pm

Nobody’s Perfect - a catchy new musical performed in spoken English and American Sign Language at the Poway Center - is based on a book by Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin and directed by Tony-winner Coy Middlebrook (Brooklyn, Big River).  This touring production by the Kennedy Center helps young audiences learn about communication, peer relationships and Deaf Culture.

Fourth grade is not easy and after spending a year planning her “positively purple” birthday party, Megan finds herself at odds with new student Alexis. To Megan, Alexis has it all: beauty, brains, and athletics—she’s practically perfect in every way. Though Megan tries to be nice to her, Alexis is anything but friendly, making Megan wonder, “Does she not like me because I’m deaf?” When they’re forced to collaborate on a science project, Megan discovers Alexis’s secret.

Based on the children’s book by Academy Award® winner Marlee Matlin (Best Actress, Children of a Lesser God) and Doug Cooney, this touching new musical—simultaneously performed in spoken English and American Sign Language—is an important reminder that despite first impressions, nobody’s perfect. Recommended for ages 8 and up, and grades 3 and up. Curriculum Connections include literature, language development, peer relationships, communication, and Deaf Culture.
