Bonnie's Column
it's always a good week when you can spend days
listening and learning about Creative Aging. That's what happened
on the Age Stage during the recent IAGG World Conference in San
Francisco. Audience members explored art, music and theatre
performances, readings, films, and so much more. It was an honor to
present "The Wonderful World of Senior Theatre" to an
enthusiastic crowd. Click here to see the entire program.
We hope you're having a wonderful summer!
Yours in Theatre,
Bonnie L. Vorenberg
President, ArtAge Publications

Great tool to help you choose
children's literature with positive images of aging
Miss Moore
Thought Otherwise: How Anne Carroll Moore
Created
Libraries for Children
For many years, Dr. Sandra McGuire has been passionate
about helping children read books that show older adults in a
positive light. She reviews current children's literature and
complies a carefully selected list of books for parents,
grandparents, and teachers. You'll find that "Growing up and
Growing Older" is a rich and useful survey because of its
meaningful portrayals of older adults, all to promote positive aging.
It's a delightful and fun list. Click here to take a look!
For Senior Theatre: Use this book list to select storytelling pieces
or as a basis for plays performed for young audiences.
