The ASL Coffee Slam is a night full of performances, games, story-telling, and more, all in American Sign Language. Everyone is welcome to come - seasoned signers and beginners alike!



They especially encourage local community members, as well as students from other schools, to join! If you have a story to tell, a poem to recite, or a game to play, come and share it with them, or simply enjoy the stories of others.



The ASL Coffee Slam will be on Saturday, April 11th, 6pm - 9pm. We will be in the Agora room of the Watson Institute (first floor of the large white building at 280 Brook St. Providence, RI). There will be coffee and other light snacks/refreshments.
