Elder Affairs

Synopsis
Waiting for the guest-of-honour to arrive at Andy’s 80th birthday party many of his guests share experiences with elder abuse and bullying. But it is Andy himself who brings the biggest surprise of all when he finally arrives and liberates himself from his doting daughter.
The 2019 ACT Social Justice Theatre Project themes are senior relationships & bullying. Workshops were conducted with seniors from Life After 50, as well as other seniors in the Windsor community, during the months of July 2018 – January 2019. Many personal stories were shared and from those stores the original one act play entitled “Elder Affairs” was created.
Funded by the New Horizons for Seniors Programs Grant, the seniors project brings together Windsor-Essex residents over the age of 50 to share their stories and create a play based on their life experiences.
Show runs February 8-10, 2019, at the Sho Arts.
