DESCRIPTIVE TRANSCRIPT: A two-minute, 22-second video with no audio of Sabrina Dennison, a Deaf white woman with curly blonde hair worn down and blue glasses wears a black turtleneck and cat-eye black and white checkered glasses. She sits in front of a beige wall, signing in American Sign Language. At the bottom, English captions in white text and black background appears as she signs, with some text with red background appearing in the top right corner. She signs,

“Greetings - I’m Sabrina, Director of Artistic Sign Language for To Kill a Mockingbird produced by The Huntington in Boston (264 Huntington Ave.) ASL interpreting team: Brent Tracy, Christopher Robinson, Desirée Weems. [Their headshots appear in the top left corners. Brent, a brown-skinned male with short hair and a black-haired beard; Christopher, An African-American man with medium locs and a seasonal beard; Desirée, a short white woman in her mid-thirties.] This play is a classic. It takes places in the 1930s in a small southern town about a Black man who was falsely accused of a terrible crime. This play shows how the court system views and treats Black people as not equal. It begs discussion about white accountability and the unjust treatment of Black people within and by modern-day society and the court system. This play challenges us about our responsibility and behavior as white people. This play is powerful. I encourage you to buy tickets and go see for yourself. I hope to see you there!”

A black screen with white text, some with red background reads “Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird by Aaron Sorkin. ASL-Interpreted Friday October 30th, 2026 at 7:30pm. DASL Sabrina Dennison, Brent Tracy, Desirée Weems, Christopher Robinson.

Last month, VOX had the opportunity to work with Calmer Con Boston in Weston, MA. Our representative neurodivergent and disabled team reviewed wayfinding, accessible engagement methods/tools, and the range of low and high sensory programming. Calmer Con is a comic convention without the large crowds, high volume and packed rooms. This event was built to include neurodivergent community members of all ages and welcomed everyone.
