The role of elders in our theatrical ecosystem gets extensive exploration in this week’s edition.
”Elder Up” writes Yvette Nolan,who connects elders to arts who are asking hard questions; SFU theatre student Steffi Munshaw goes full-elder, dramaturging a play by Michael Hollingsworth for director DD Kugler; and Theatre Replacement Co-AD James Long has been watching movies with 65-year-olds and staging their conversations about them.
In all, it speaks to a relatively healthy discourse and relationship between generations. The revolution against the gerontocracy may be referred to committee for further study.
