There area few things more enriching that a live stage performance. It is so real, so live and it shows so much talent and personality. These performers rehearse for months and the presentations are always amazing. There are many April theatrical offerings this month. Central Valley Theater for the Deaf has its debut on Friday, April 29 at 7:00 p.m. on the Lakewood School Stage following the Lakewood Sign LanguageClub’s show presentation of Peanuts. Heath Conway and Kaitlyn Evans, two Deaf performers and former Lakewood students will sign monologues from You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown. The actors will be professionally voiced to provide access for all. Join us for a memorable evening.
