Lemont High School to Host Screening of American Sign Language Film

For the first time in the south suburban area, the Lemont Junior Illinois Association for the Deaf will host a screening of the American Sign Language film, “No Ordinary Hero.” The event will take place at Lemont High School at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 21, and is open to the public.

The entire film is in American Sign Language, with captioning available for the ‘signing impaired.’

“No Ordinary Hero” tells the story of a deaf actor who plays a superhero—‘Super Deafy’ —on television. However, he must look beyond his cape to influence a deaf boy to redefine what being “normal” means ... and also finds inspiration to transform himself.

John Malicere stars, and the film also features Academy Award winner Marlee Matlin.

Tickets are $8; to purchase tickets, contact Judy Gray at judyg@lemont.k12.il.us or at (630) 243-3837.
