Thursday, April 10 at 7:30 p.m. - Young at Heart Theatre presents NEXT!
Written by Gabrielle Roddy and Greg Ellard, with original music by Sue Stanger
NEXT is an original one-act musical that follows a year in the life of two older actors, Alex and Don, who meet and become friends over a series of auditions. It is a light-hearted look at the realities of aging that transcends any job or career, and speaks to the feeling of becoming invisible or irrelevant in a world that keeps moving ahead. This play speaks to the question: Is it ever too late to chase a dream?
