DreamWrights and StARTSomething Partnering for Theatre Arts Workshops for Seniors

Inspired by the National Council on Creative Aging (NCCA), StARTSomething and DreamWrights are partnering to provide stAGES! StAGEs! is a six-week theatre arts program for those 55 and older. This one-of-a-kind offering in York County will be led by NCCA-trained theatre artists Christina Myers and Luke MacCloskey. Myers and MacCloskey will guide participants through performance, learning, and experimenting with theatrical techniques to tell stories, create plot and characters, and build new friendships. No experience is necessary. Accommodations will be provided for those with physical limitations and/or stage fright.

Christina Myers, actor, writer, and producer has appeared in various TV and film projects including "Girl, Interrupted" (as Nurse Margie opposite Oscar Award Winner, Angelina Jolie). Luke MacCloskey, actor, writer, and producer has performed on stage and screen around the country. You might recognize him (or not!) as the interloping zombie in the national TVBoss.org commercial. Together they perform as Cobblestone Comedy for corporate events and private parties. They also lead professional rapport-building workshops for medical professionals.

StAGEs! encourages active participation in the performing arts. Meet new people, make art, and enjoy the benefits of "creative aging." Enrollment is limited to 16 participants and is free of charge. A fully refundable registration fee of $20 will be returned at the culmination of the 12 sessions. StAGES! will meet twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays from 1:00-2:30 pm at DreamWrights, 100 Carlisle Avenue. DreamWrights is handicapped accessible with free, off-street parking.
