YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO PLAY started as an acting workshop 5 years ago for seniors of 65 and older. It was open to actors and non-actors alike. We now wantto expand the group and invite new participants.

In the past five years we have made three pieces, two of which we performed at
the Glade, the small theatre on Little Island. The third one, based on the theme of aging and entitled ABOVE GROUND (Not Exactly a Comedy), we performed in the Community Room of Westbeth, where it was met with great enthusiasm by the audience.

To explore intergenerational dynamics, and to create a new piece, we are opening the group up to ages 40-60 years, along with some new seniors as well.

NANCY GABOR and PAUL BINNERTS, directors/acting teachers of YOU’RE NEVER
TOO OLD TO PLAY, are inviting interested people to join the group for a project based on a theme yet to be defined. The theme will appeal to both participating generations.

The work will focus on physical and vocal exercises, and improvisations
emphasizing play and ensemble (Nancy's Core Technique), and crafting a story (Paul's Acting in Real Time). Central in this work is the presence of the actor.
We will conduct a workshop from October to Christmas, for new members, to get to know the group and to integrate into it. Commitment is necessary. After New Year 2025, we plan to start on the new project.

The group meets once a week, on Thursdays, from 11 AM to 2 PM.
