The Stepping Stone Players, Glendale's nonprofit community theater
group, gear up for a new season following their third success with
September's production of "Bye Bye Birdie."
Spokeswoman and Mark Keppel Elementary parent Lee Briggs said the
troupe can continue to grow and develop its goal to provide quality
community theater. If you would like to become involved with either
production or fund-raising, please call 246-8822 or online
www.steppingstoneplayers.com. Your time and interest will be greatly
appreciated. A large part of their plan is to continue reaching out
to and including the deaf community by offering performances
interpreted by American Sign Language.
Their vision is to create a sense of community through theater by
encouraging the participation of people of all ages and backgrounds.
The group provides a truly unique opportunity for children and adults
to explore, learn, perform and mentor in every facet of live theater.
Here's what's happening in the Hoover cluster schools.
