Deanna Gann
Program Manager
Hello beautiful people! I’m Deanna and I’ve been with J and S for many, many years! I moved to Vacaville with my family when I was 2 years old and never left! I grew up in theater and have experienced all levels of the stage from costuming back stage with my mom, to singing and dancing on stage, also being a tech hand on the sides and now with a headset as a Stage Manager! My heart soars with what theater provides for our children and I feel honored to be a part of it. My daughters have not only found life-long friends, but full acceptance and a second home. Their smiles shine with pride from the dedication they give to each character they take on. I love being a part of the community in a way that supports their beautiful hearts to keep growing without limiting any of their dreams!”
