The Eyes Alive! Deaf Elementary Theater was a performing arts troupe at FSDB. As an after-school program, Eyes Alive! introduced students to theatrical arts opportunities and tied in American Sign Language (ASL) storytelling and Deaf culture with skits and short plays.

Jessica Stultz, a Deaf Elementary School teacher, founded the troupe in the fall of 2010 for young elementary-age students. In the spring of 2011, 25 deaf/hard of hearing students from the first to fifth grades produced two short plays based on the classic tales Rapunzel and Rumpelstiltskin.

In the fall of 2011, the program changed from performing live on stage to creating an ASL movie. For five months, Eyes Alive! teachers and students videoed two days a week on their film. In the spring of 2012, The Wizard of Oz in American Sign Language was released. The movie was uploaded to YouTube and garnered over 250,000 views in its first year. It was also selected for the 11th Annual Maine Deaf Film Festival. As of January 2025, the movie has close to 2 million views!

Eyes Alive! followed up their first movie with another classic tale, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Expanding on the success of Oz, Snow White had a cast three times the size of their first film. It was shot at multiple locations around St. Augustine, including Castle Otttis, St. Francis Inn, and the Fountain of Youth. Like the previous film, Snow White was selected to play at the Annual Maine Deaf Film Festival.

For the 2013-2014 school year, Eyes Alive! went in a slightly different direction. Instead of making one movie, the group produced three short films based on Aesop’s Fables. The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf, The Goose with the Golden Eggs, and The Tortoise and the Hare were all shot on location with a cast of fourth and fifth graders. The group continued to build a library of Aesop Fables by adding two more films in the fall of 2015, The Lion and the Mouse and The Honest Woodcutter.

The last production Eyes Alive! created in the 2015-16 school year was Nursery Rhymes in American Sign Language. The group filmed 14 classic nursery rhymes like Hey Diddle Diddle, Humpty Dumpty, Incy, Wincy Spider, and Jack and Jill.

Eyes Alive! shifted again and became a student news production group to produce a monthly news video for students, staff, families, and community partners.
