In 1986, Lu Hoff and Gena Andrews developed a children’s program that incorporated performing and signing a show for the hearing impaired. StageHANDS has performed over the years and was the first and only Total Communication (using voice and sign) community theatre group in the state. Today, StageHANDS continues to delight and captivate audiences each year with productions, as well as teach our young actors the true importance of our community and the performing arts.
