In this roundtable discussion, Lifetime Arts invited Diantha Dow Schull, Julie Kline, Education Designer and Trainer and theatre teaching artist, and Ed Friedman, Lifetime Arts’ former Co-Founder/Executive Director, to discuss the benefits of creative aging programs in the theater arts.
Through their research, knowledge, expertise, and personal experience in older adult theater programming, they share how this modality supports skill-building, creative expression, and social engagement in older adults.
