GHSS IS VERY HAPPY TO PRESENT
THE SENIOR MOMENTS THEATRE GROUP
On Thursday, 12 September, this troupe of volunteer senior actors will will present a FREE performance dealing with senior issues in an “irreverent” and “bawdy” format. Our minds and bodies may be changing and maybe we're neither as pretty or physically fit as we once were, but the old noggin is still working (most days) and we've got a healthy sense of humor (most days). This special performance promises to be a lot of fun as it strikes familiar chords.
You don't have to attend the luncheon to attend this memorable and entertaining production. BUT WHY NOT?
The performance will take place at 1:00 at the Valley Bible Chapel, in Hillsborough, opposite Butler Park.
The luncheon, chicken pot pie this month, starts at noon and will only costs $5.00. You've got to reserve to attend the lunch. To do so, contact Marie Merrow at 464-3067.
Senior Moments was founded in 1999 by the late Joanne Dodge as an all-volunteer performance group for seniors by seniors. The group writes its own plays and short skits, which focus on issues affecting elders, and performs them throughout the state at senior centers and other senior gathering places. The program encourages creativity, celebration of the aging process and the active participation of seniors in the arts.
Past performances have included *Yes, There is a Tomorrow* (depression and suicide prevention), *Help Me, I’m Falling, and I Can’t Get Up* (safety issues), and *I Haven’t Got Time for the Pain* (myths and realistic approaches to dealing with chronic pain). Senior Moments also provides classes in theatre and members routinely meet with seniors to read plays at assisted living homes and day out programs.
Senior Moments has appeared at the New Hampshire Conference on Aging, Maine Senior Expo, Association of American Retired Persons, National Association of the Mentally Ill, WSCA Audio Theatre Players, New Hampshire Public Radio, New Hampshire Public Television, as well as a score of community groups and organizations throughout New England.
