Rathskellar is a show like no other, with 100 minutes of blasting, non-stop performance that brings you the very best in ASL artistry, percussion and dance. Every performance features ASL Poetry, dancing, mime, storytelling, handshape stories and light comedy, and leaves hearing and deaf audiences clamoring for more.

Rathskellar started touring the U.S. in 1998 performing at various professional and community venues, schools and universities, and has since grown into an international phenomenon with headline performances in many cultural capitals across the globe.

Prepare yourself for a special performance by Rathskellar on October 3, 2009! With an unknown future for Rathskellar, this may be your only opportunity to catch the show that has mesmerized thousands of deaf and hearing fans worldwide!

Rathskellar most recently completed an eight-month tour across the heartland of America and on the West Coast. Four full-house shows in the Bay Area were a smashing success and landed Rathskellar on the front cover of The Argus, the No. 1 newspaper in Fremont, the deaf capital of Northern California!

Rathskellar is an ensemble group of five talented performers and was conceived by its creator, Jonathan Hall Kovacs, who dared to combine his twin loves of music and ASL into an groundbreaking showcase of ASL poetry, storytelling, pantomime, comedy, handshape stories, folklore, and lively dancing set to pulsating music. Rathskellar takes you straight to the soul of American Sign Language and deaf culture with each breathtaking movement.

The special October 3rd show will include crowd favorites such as Wild Wild West, Frankenstein, Stick Dance, Thriller, 1950’s scenes, ICE, and drum songs!
