EXPLORING STRENGHS AND CHALLENGES OF AGING THROUGH IMPROVISATIONAL DRAMA

Back by popular demand, we invite you to join us for this Lifelong Arts workshop series at Alderman Oaks.

Your talents, abilities, and creativity will be explored through fun-filled improvisational theater games in a safe, creative, and inspiring environment.

Through creating various drama characters, participants will experience the strengths, joys, and challenges of aging.

Improvisational drama is a form of theater in which characters and dialogue of a story are made up in the moment…there are no written scripts! Participants tap into and celebrate their creativity while interacting and learning from their peers.
