[il-talk] Braille Is Beautiful

[Deborah Kent Stein]

For more than ten years, Braille Is Beautiful has been one of the highlights 
of our NFB of Illinois convention.  Each year a number of our members read 
aloud a short play, complete with music and sound effects.  We started 
Braille Is Beautiful because we wanted to demonstrate that Braille need not 
be slow and laborious but can be read fluently and with flair.  Over the 
years, this event has also become an opportunity for those who are recent 
Braille users to celebrate what they have learned.

Whether you're a lifelong Braille reader or someone who just mastered the 
code last summer, there's a role for you in this year's performance.  There 
are plenty of parts, large and small, so there's a place for anyone who 
would like to participate.  Scripts will be available in hardcopy or 
electronic formats, and we will hold two rehearsals via conference call 
prior to curtain time at convention.  It's a lot of fun!  You can check out 
some of our past performances at www.nfbofillinois.org under Convention 
Audio.  If you would like to take part or to learn more about what's 
involved, please contact me off list.
