Disney’s The Lion King has captivated the imagination of audiences around the world and now, MTI and Disney have released a Junior version. We at Trilogy, have the opportunity to produce this one-of-a-kind musical! The African savannah comes to life on our stage with Simba, Rafiki and an unforgettable cast of characters as they journey from Pride Rock to the jungle… and back again, in this fun and inspiring, coming-of-age tale. With all out favorite music including Circle of Life, Hakuna Matata, I Just Can’t Wait To Be King, and more!!!

Catherine Pestinger, a former performer at Trilogy, installed OPEN Captioning at this theater for her grandfather who had hearing loss. Her OC project was her initiative for her final Girl Scout Gold Award. She is an inspiration to HLAA-KC’s Metro KC for OPEN Caption LIVE Theater group. We welcome her advocacy in our open captioning goals for KC. Hope to see many here from KC’s deaf and hard of hearing communities and their family and friends!

IRS NOW HIRING.

The IRS is feverishly looking to hire 30-50 people. They have openings right now for the people we call Schedule A’s. This group includes the disabled, physically challenged, the deaf/DHOH, the blind and others. Here is a link to more detail on the Schedule A program:

https://jobs.irs.gov/midcareer/disabilities-commitment.html

The jobs available now are data transcription jobs for both day and night shifts. The essential skill associated with the position is typing/data entry/10 key. Paid training and vacation and health care benefits are associated with these jobs. And there are other benefits that are significant and in some cases rare in the KC business world.

These are permanent jobs with a seasonal schedule. A person who is hired for one of these jobs, assuming their performance meets the standards, will be called back each year. And by becoming a federal employee the individual will be able to compete for full time permanent jobs at the IRS and at any federal agency.

They have a vibrant, large DHOH community here. We have 2 staff interpreters and arrange with contract interpreters to support DHOH people on night shift.

Please see the website above for more information or to apply
