LIBRARY TO HOST SENIOR THEATRE TROUPE

The Tompkins County Public Library will host an encore performance by the Senior Citizen’s Theatre Troupe of Lifelong, Friday, April 22 at 2:00 PM in the BorgWarner Community Room.

A follow-up to last spring’s riveting performance at the Library, this show will center around the theme of aging and feature humorous and serious stories from troupe members’ lives. The Troupe performs simply, with no lights, props or sets. The theatre being performed is developed from themes that the actors pick, and the stories they tell are based on their own experiences.

The Troupe is directed and coordinated by Sue Perlgut and features Robyn Bem, Joan Bokaer, Maggie Goldsmith, Eva Luby, Natasha Tall, Carol Santucci, Priscilla Schneeberg, Thelma Turner and Dolores Wermelinger. The plays and theatre exercises performed are developed using improvisational theatre techniques, some of which will be demonstrated during the Library performance. For more information about the Senior Citizen Troupe of Lifelong you can contact Lifelong at 607-273-1511 or go to www.closetohomeproductions.com/seniortheatretroupe.html.

This program is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Carrie Wheeler-Carmenatty at (607) 272-4557 extension 248 or cwheeler@tcpl.org.
