Description
During this entertaining, evocative program of live theater and post-show discussion, Uplift Productions presents enhanced staged-readings of upbeat, light-hearted short plays about older characters. Each short play shows characters grappling with awkward, difficult, yet comedic conflicts, including how to hold fast to their personal passions, sense of purpose, and quality of life—all the while navigating how it feels to be older. There will be time for Q&A with the director, cast, and playwright. Curtains up!
The plays are directed by Duchess Dale, an award-winning actor and director, who currently hosts a podcast for seniors, “Re-Wire!” These performances are done by professional actors. Robert Benjamin is a retired research physicist who has become a playwright since retirement. He has produced a number of full-length plays, short plays, a short film, and an operetta.
