Theater V58

Growing out of a 2019 production of The Vagina Monologues presented in American Sign Language, Theater V58 was established in 2024 to create accessible theater in ASL for Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences in Northern California. In 2024, as part of Short Center Rep’s Climate Theater project, Theater V58 presented Ultimate Impact, an original cabaret-style production that examined the climate crisis using comedy, monologue, poetry and music performed in ASL. Theater V58 collaborated with Short Center Rep and InnerVision Theater to launch ALL IN: The Festival of Accessible Theater in 2024. Learn more about Theater V58 here.
