Despite anxiety and language barriers\, their commitment has been inspiring. The 2024-2025 season received rave reviews\, with audiences finding it thought-provoking and emotionally resonant.  \nIn our musical theatre performance\, you are invited to consider:  \n\nHave you ever felt lonely or isolated from your loved ones?\nHow do you feel about being treated as if you’re incapable of understanding?\nWhat are your thoughts on seniors dating and finding love?\nHow do you cope with difficult realities?\n\nThese performances aim to amplify the voices\, experiences\, and wisdom of immigrant seniors.
