Senior Theatre Resource Center promotes active aging through engaging performances.
Are you part of a community theatre?

Everyone benefits when you include older actors in your Community Theatre! We can’t wait to help you find scripts and materials.

  • Our stories portray older people in a positive light, living life fully in today’s modern society.
  • Some of our plays feature grandparents and grandchildren.
  • Demographically, there are more older women. You’ll have the best luck with plays that feature women as lead characters and/or have a majority of women in the cast.
