For Seniors & Caregivers
For Seniors
Memoir Class and Family Show.
In this on-going series of workshops, participants are prompted by specific questions to recount the most significant events of their lives. The written stories in these classes unfold like great novels told by the people who lived them, each a unique piece of history. Another benefit of these meetings are the relationships and sense of community that participants gain, a much welcome by-product of sharing seminal moments of their lives.

Interactive Improv-Based Storytelling
For All Cognitive Levels
This Interactive Improv Class is specifically designed to engage seniors. The Laughter On Call team uses tried and true comedy exercises to encourage participants to use their imagination, keep their minds sharp and, of course, laugh together. There are no wrong answers, just an opportunity to enjoy time with their peers experiencing the spontaneous use of their imagination. These classes serve the dual function of keeping students' minds flexible and spirits lightened, using affiliative humor! As the class progresses, participants craft personal stories and write sketches.
