The Readfield Community Library and the Age-Friendly Readfield Committee are collaborating to bring an interactive theater performance to Readfield, featuring the Marti Stevens Interactive Improvisational Theater group based out of Augusta.

The free event is scheduled for 3 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1, at the Readfield Town Office, 8 Old Kents Hill Road. Refreshments and a social hour will be held after the performance, according to a news release from Melissa Small, Readfield Community Library librarian.

MSIIT, in partnership with Spectrum Generations of Central Maine, was awarded a 2022 AARP Community Challenge Grant to offer free performances to local communities with a goal of raising awareness and generating discussion about the topic of livable communities for people 50 and older as they remain in the communities they know and love.

The group will perform scenarios about the challenges many Maine citizens encounter as they live and age in their communities. Each scenario will be followed by an opportunity for the audience to ask questions of the players “in character” and to come up with solutions to the challenges presented.
