That’s why a pair of University of Georgia alumni decided to create
their non-profit, Hands In! It’s a theater company in Athens that
produces original plays in American Sign Language. Hands In!
co-founders and directors, Haley Beach and Amara Ede, want to
bridge the gap between the deaf and hearing worlds by spreading
awareness of ASL in dramatic media. Beach and Ede spoke with On
Second Thought host Virginia Prescott about their latest
production, Wanderland . They also talked about their plans to
expand on arts and culture for members of the deaf community.
