Theatre 55 Programs

Shows

Theatre 55 produces two large scale, musical productions per year featuring cast and crew aged 55+, thus challenging the assumptions about aging by creating high-quality, highly entertaining performances. 

From 2019’s Hair to today, we have presented shows that have been highly entertaining, crowd-pleasing, and amazing documents of the continued creativity of senior artists.

Classes

Theatre 55 offers theater classes for novices and professionals. Taught by artists working in the community, these classes invite you to use your body, voice, and imagination, and create life-long learning opportunities. 

Five or six-week classes are offered each Spring and Fall. Click here to learn more.

Video Presentations

Theatre 55 has produced a number of videos that can be viewed on demand, including a charming set of Raymond Chandler radio plays produced in the thick of the COVID pandemic, and four original films that are part of The Loneliness Project—short films that deal with loneliness and aging in the LGBTQIA+ population.
