with Gary Lukes and the help of many Stagehands

SPRING VALLEY, WI – The Spring Valley Stagehands have been making community theater magic happen for 40 years. The Sun-Argus is presenting a history of the Stagehands through the decades. This week it is Spring Valley Stagehands Decade of 2010 – 2019.

This decade welcomed in the addition of “new blood” directors mixed in with familiar favorite directors and the variety of shows reflected the work of these new directors. This decade offered a nice balance of musicals, comedies, dramedies and Christmas offerings which “scratched the itch” for everyone.  In the previous decade, shows traveled to Elmwood and in this decade, shows left the theatre and traveled just a few doors down to the Community Center which added fun and excitement by experiencing different venues. The quality of performances continued to raise the bar higher and higher as the reputation of top-notch productions at the Stagehands Theatre was growing in leaps and bounds.
