Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween from HIS Sign!!

What are your plans for tonight? We’d love to hear your plans and see pictures!


Also, the JOB Movie, produced by Deaf Missions, will be screened on November 3rd from 4:00pm to 7:00pm at Arlington Church. The JOB Movie is in full ASL by Deaf actors!! The movie is based on the book of Job in the Bible.  

Pain and suffering is a part of the human experience.

We’ve all wondered where God is in times of trouble.

The story of Job reminds us that our Redeemer lives and is present to help us in our darkest moments.  

Pizza & Drinks will be provided! Yum yum!

Today is the LAST DAY to email Lene Hobbs at lenehobbs@gmail.com that you will be attending.

Love, Factually is a holiday satire from the twisted minds at The Second City, which gets to the truth of December life, love, and romance. Whether you love or hate the movie Love, Actually, you're going to fall in love with this mashup of parody, original comedy, music, improv, and audience participation. 

To purchase tickets for a sign interpreted or captioned performance at the Kennedy Center, please call the services desk at 202-416-8528 (voice) or visit kennedy-center.org.


More Accessible Available Jobs!!


Recently, we’ve seen a HUGE growth in the number of jobs and hours of work our customers have trusted our agency with. This growth has challenged us in gaining coverage from our pool of subcontractors.

To help make our needs more transparent, we’ve created a new Available Jobs web page! You can access the web page directly using the following link or from the “Interpreters” or “Resource” menus on our website (http://www.hissign.com/available-jobs.html).

On this new web page you will find four sections: an overview video, available jobs report, FAQ, and a feedback form.

We plan on updating this information daily by 9:00am, containing all of the open jobs as of the time we pull the report.

There is no way for you to “accept” a job on this page. You can continue to accept work on eRSP (https://hissign.ersp.biz/#ADMIN) as you currently do, use the form found on the web page, send an email to TerpAdmin@HISsign.com, or call us at 877-886-8879 x2.

In the upper, right-hand corner, there is a “Share” button. If you know of anyone that is looking for work, feel free to share with anyone you feel would benefit from working at HIS Sign!

All of us here at HIS Sign would like to Thank You for being a part of our Team! If you’re not currently a part of our team, we look forward to having you on board soon!

Once Upon A December...

The Kennedy Center Presents:

Anastasia  

At the Opera House

Inspired by the beloved films, the romantic and adventure-filled new musical Anastasia is on a journey to Washington at last! From the Tony Award®–winning creators of the Broadway classic Ragtime, this dazzling show transports us from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s. 

I have seen this show twice. It perfectly captures the Disney ambiance, the despondency of post-revolution Russia, the fresh beauty of France, the styles of the 1020’s, and most importantly the regality of Anya. This show will make you sit forward, hold your breath, laugh hysterically, and tear up. I highly recommend!
