Sunshine Hearts and Hands is an organisation which will fund workshops for important theatre pieces
presented by deaf and hearing actors, for hearing and non hearing audiences. These workshops and performances
will give deaf actors and crew members a chance to earn a living in their chosen profession, the Theatre, and to
work alongside hearing actors. It will give the deaf community the opportunity to enjoy theatre pieces which
(up to present) have not addressed their special needs.





Below is a partial list of some of our incredible array of silent auction donations and donors
