COMMUNITY THEATRE

Does your Diversity – Equity – Inclusion program include age?

Bring the arts to underserved groups, including older actors, and use entertainment to unite the community!

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.
