These movements will not only train your muscles to respond to balance cues, but will also increase your confidence in your body’s own ability to respond when needed. When exposed to balance exercises regularly, the results have been excellent. Good for those with Parkinson Disease or other strength/balance concerns.

RCT: Urinetown: The Musical* One of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, Urinetown is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage caused by a 20-year drought has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he’s had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Trip includes admission, escort and transportation. Dinner is on your own. Age: 50Y and up 16465 June 12
