For Active Engaged Audiences
On-going research reinforces the positive impact on the health and wellbeing of participants involved in interactive and participatory arts programming. Using music and art, theater, puppetry and storytelling, these on-going ensembles are designed for active seniors providing opportunities for creative self-expression and healthy aging, life-long learning, a sense of accomplishment, control, choice, self-esteem - and fun. Our mission is to nurture mind, body and spirit, conducting holistic arts programming for senior care and at the same time engaging families, staff and community.
TO LIFE CABARET PLAYERS Cabaret is a form of entertainment featuring music, song, dance, recitation or drama. TO LIFE Cabaret Players taps the talent and those ‘wanta be’s’ in all phases of a theatrical production open to an ensemble of residents, and an audience of family and community. READER’S THEATER | RADIO THEATER Readers’ Theatre introduces anyone to theater concepts in ways that are easy to grasp and enjoy. With no memory work involved, anyone can be a perfect performer in quick order using Reader's Theater scripts, poetry or radio plays, and it's something that can be enjoyed for a lifetime by all, regardless of age or physical ability. SING OUT Seniors Inspired by the Young @ Heart performers, Sing Out Seniors attacks aging head on. In an era where the elderly are seen as people who need to be looked after and entertained, Sing Out Seniors introduce contemporary music to the performers and turns the old age formula upside down. Instead of singing songs to pass the time as bones get brittle and hearts clog up, Sing Out Seniors seek to shake up audiences and make people of all ages, especially younger people, look at life in a whole new way.
