LIBRARY TO HOST SENIOR THEATRE TROUPE

Travel around the world with the Lifelong Senior Theatre Troupe as they share their stories of travel and childhood memories of travel during a special, choral theatre performance at the Tompkins County Public Library, Thursday, May 20 at 1:00 PM in the BorgWarner Community Room.

Directed by actor, arts administrator and teacher Sue Perlgut, the Troupe includes members ranging in age from late 50s to 90+ who perform stories from their own lives with no sets or lights and few props. Their bare-bones style encourages the audience to focus on the story and creates a more intimate viewing experience. The Troupe encourages audience interaction through improvisational exercises and activities.

Featured performers are Joan Bokaer, Robyn Bem, Maggie Goldsmith, Eva Luby, Emily Johnson, Natasha Tall, Carol Santucci, Priscilla Schneeberg, and Thelma Turner.

This fun-filled performance is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Carrie Wheeler-Carmenatty at (607) 272-4557 extension 248.
