Organized by: GeriActors & Friends

This intergenerational theatre troupe brings together seniors and university students (ages range from early 20s to 90s!) to create original plays based on true stories and issues of aging. Join us for our 2024 performance season. We are so excited to debut our play The Atto Street Gang and bring back a favourite from last year, Now That We’re Older.

The Atto Street Gang

Directed byBecca Barrington
Featuring:Angela Smythe, Diane Jonsson, Kerry Francis, Nancy Kardash, and Pat Parkinson

A group of friends grow up and find adventure in the wilds of the St. Francis River in Quebec. This is a story of freedom, a story of friendship, of staying out until your mom calls you in for supper, sneaking out after your parents fall asleep, stealing cigarettes and catching fireflies. Join the Atto Street Gang as they experience the “best summer ever”!

Now That We’re Older

Directed byDavid Barnet
Assisted byValentine Ukoh
Featuring:Carlean Fisher, Chips Reid, Jamie MacDonald, John Grootelaar, Liz Reid, Margaret Rutherford, Maria Yakula, and Ranee Wickramasekera

If we forget something we simply say “senior moment,” but what does that mean? This play is about the things we leave behind and (sometimes) forget, and how aging has freed us to become our truest selves.
