ImageIthaca -- The Tompkins County Public Library will host an encore performance by the Senior Citizen’s Theatre Troupe of Lifelong, Thursday, June 11, 2009 at 2:00 PM in the BorgWarner Community Room.

A follow-up to last spring’s riveting performance at the Library, this performance centers around the theme of women’s empowerment and beauty.  The Troupe performs simply with no lights, props or sets.  The choral theatre being performed is developed from themes that the actors select, and the stories they tell are based on their own life experiences.

The Troupe is directed and coordinated by Sue Perlgut and features Robyn Bem, Maggie Goldsmith, Eva Luby, Emily Johnson, Natasha Tall, Caral Santucci, Priscilla Schneeberg, Thelma Turner and Gwyneth Warner.  The plays and theatre exercises performed are developed using improvisational theatre techniques, some of which will be demonstrated during the Library performance.

In addition to the empowerment and beauty piece, the Troupe will also perform a reading of Advice Download, an original piece created by Perlgut. Perlgut, through an online survey, asked women ages 40 and up about the advice, both good and bad, that they had received from older women. The Troupe will share some of the fascinating answers Perlgut received.
 
This program is free and open to the public.
