Older-adult theater promotes active aging by Mark Tolladay, RTC
It’s opening night of The Pirates of Penzance. Leading lady Edie Haworth waits in the wings, adjusting her costume for the 20th time as she watches the maiden chorus flit about on stage. Hearing the introductory strains of her entrance music, Haworth takes a deep breath and steps out into the warm light of the stage to begin her vocal solo, amid appreciative murmurs. At final curtain, the energized audience applauds the cast of Gilbert and Sullivan’s playful operetta. And the older-adult theater production looks set for a successful run at San Joaquin Gardens, a continuing care retirement community in Fresno, California.
