The Marti Stevens Interactive Improvisational Theater group is scheduled to present a program at 4 p.m. Saturday, April 15, at the Mt. Vernon Community Center, 2 N Road.
The theater group, together with Spectrum Generations of Central Maine, has been awarded an AARP Community Challenge grant to present scenarios and discussions about challenges Maine’s elder citizens encounter as they live and age in their communities, according to a news release from Alice Olson, head librarian at the Dr. Shaw Memorial Library.
Each scenario will be followed by an opportunity for audience members to ask questions of the players “in character,” and to come up with possible solutions to the challenges presented.
This program can be helpful and informative for all community members as well as family, friends and neighbors of aging citizens.
The event is sponsored by the Mt. Vernon Aging In Place Committee and the Dr. Shaw Memorial Library.
For more information, call Olson at 207-293-2565.
