How do you sign “Theater” in ASL?
THEATER: THEATER in American Sign Language (ASL) names the venue for plays and films. The video and animated demonstration below show the sign.


Where does THEATER come up in conversation?
THEATER handles movie nights and stage shows alike. Deaf theater is its own rich tradition, and interpreted or captioned performances make this sign practical as well as descriptive. Weekend-plan conversations keep it in rotation. Movie-night negotiations at home give it as much use as the venue itself.
It appears in Lesson 19 of Book 1.
