Retirement Communities

Working together as a creative team, members within your community perform for your residential population, the public, or community family days. Individuals with musical or artistic background are invited to contribute their talents to the production. Stepping into children's literature or holiday material, your elder community can offer a show for their grandchildren. For adult audiences, we leave fairy tales behind and create representational vignettes filled with rich imagery, including classical music and recited poetry.

Your Community Contributes

Assisted living residents are welcome in our programs, which offer recreationally therapeutic opportunities for less mobile individuals. One can easily join in from a chair, wheelchair, walker, or with an aide. No experience is necessary, participation is guided, and even those with cognitive challenges can be in a show. Puppeteers typically enjoy a comfortable anonymity behind a marionette. Movement, color, lighting, sound, and texture provide a satisfying artistic experience. Nothing compares with the rapport shared amongst participants in a theatrical production.
