Library to Host Free Performance by Senior Theatre Troupe

Tompkins County Public Library will host an encore performance by the Senior Citizen Theatre Troupe of Lifelong, February 12 at 5:00 p.m. in the BorgWarner Community Room.

An annual Library favorite, the Senior Theatre Troupe performs humorous and serious stories from troupe members’ lives.  This year’s stories will relate to the theme “chance.”  From “chances are” to “take a chance,” this performance will include a treasure trove of stories about chances big and small.

The Troupe performs simply, with no lights, props or sets. The theatre being performed is developed from themes 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, Natasha Tall, Carol Santucci, Deirdre Silverman, Mark Silverman, Emily Rhoads Johnson, Margaret Dennis, Barbara West, Eva Luby.  The plays and theatre exercises performed are developed using improvisational theatre techniques, some of which will be demonstrated during the Library performance.
