For people over 50: Join the Silver Stage Players for “No-Fear Theatre!”
Theatre work helps you exercise your memory skills, build mental flexibility, enhance creativity, and improve critical thinking and focus. Theatre work also supports physical health with increased bodily awareness, breathing and vocal strength, stamina and relaxation. Best of all, you’ll have fun while developing new and surprising relationships!
Please contact O’Connor Senior Center online or call (865) 523-1135 for the current Silver Stage Players schedule.
Meetings: Fridays from 10am – 12noon at the O’Connor Senior Center.
The Silver Stage Players are an education/outreach partnership between Tennessee Stage Company and the John T. O’Connor Senior Center in Knoxville, formed to provide theatre training and performance opportunities tailored specifically to senior artists. The Silver Stage Players are a nationally recognized, award winning theatre group for seniors.
Our members write, produce, and perform their own plays, and have published several original scripts through ArtAge Publications. Senior theatre companies across the country are now producing our plays!
Silver Stagers have attended the Senior Theatre USA Performance Festivals in Baltimore MD; Asheville, NC; New Orleans, LA and Atlantic City, NJ. In addition, several Silver Stagers have performed in a number of inter-generational productions and collaborated on projects to create and produce original stories and plays.
Check out our film adaptation of our original play, That’s What Friends Are For, with an important message about the different kinds of elder issues.
