DreamWrights StAGEs Theatre Arts Program for Older Adults

There's something funny going on at DreamWrights. StAGEs, an award-winning theater arts program designed specifically for the over 50 crowd is entertaining, challenging, and intriguing participants. Designed to support older adults' healthy and positive aging, StAGEs engages participants through theatre arts. Among the program's goals are skill mastery and social engagement - fundamental components that encourage learning and sharpening one's mind.

Led by Teaching Artist, AK Mullen, StAGEs is open to new and returning participants but is limited to the first 20 enrollees. Building on the successes from past series, participants will work with the "building blocks" of improvisational exercises, story building, and narrative-based exercises to create theatrical scenes in which to share their life experience. The series will culminate with a celebratory sharing open to the public and free of charge. The sharing will allow audiences to see "under the hood" of the exercises.

StAGES meets once a week on Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. beginning Sept. 12th through Nov. 14th. Newbies are welcome and encouraged. Accommodations will be provided for those with physical limitations and/or stage fright. Enrollment is limited to 20 participants with a nominal fee of $12 per session. Pay $110 up front for the full 10 sessions and save. Full scholarships are available upon request. Become a member and save even more on this class and others.

StAGEs will meet at DreamWrights, 100 Carlisle Avenue, York. DreamWrights is handicapped accessible with free, off-street parking. For more information or to register, please call DreamWrights at 717-848-8623.
