Introduction from Anita Stewart
As we move through the coldest, darkest days of the year, we need to find time to laugh. Senior Living, a new play by Tor Hyams and Lisa St. Lou, celebrates small victories as a gaggle of seniors living in the same facility step through their daily lives. Played by five actors who shape-shift throughout the performance, the characters find light in the
experience of growing old—twirling in wheelchairs; finding joy in the pleasure of rice pudding; and tapping, singing, and flirting their way through life. They have the same desire for love and romance, the same assuredness about what they think, and the same awareness of technology that they did in their twenties. They are human beings. While their age might have changed, the people have not.
So if you are of a certain age, whether 21 or 100, I think you will find moments that make you smile and laugh out loud as well as fundamental truths spoken by this funny, quirky cast of characters who, as Tor likes to say, “are dying to live.”
Here’s to making the most of our time on this earth. Enjoy…
