Carrie and the V58 Team noticed a need in the community for a creative outlet for local Deaf actors, poets, storytellers, and other performing artists. Theater V58 then joined forces with DDSO and Short Center Repertory Theater to create accessible theater in ASL by Deaf community members and hearing fluent signers. Hence, Theater V58, Inc. was established as the premiere community theater for the Deaf in Northern California's Sacramento Valley.
