Are you a senior (age 55+) in New Jersey eager to connect with your community, share your unique experiences, and explore your creative side? Union County Performing Arts Center (UCPAC) proudly presents a six-week workshop just for you: “Stories of a Lifetime.”

Through guided prompts and group discussions, you will explore a variety of themes, connecting through a personally meaningful lens. The group will craft pieces that reflect diverse voices and lived wisdom. Our wonderful instructors will assist in enriching character, individual voice, structure, and dramatic stakes. This workshop will culminate in a public performance with professional actors accompanying our senior storytellers performing these new, original pieces.

Your journey, your words. Here’s what some of our past participants have said about “Stories of a Lifetime”:

“This workshop pushed me out of my comfort zone (but gently) to help me tell my story that has long been in my heart but never written down.”

“The workshop helped spark wonderful memories and inspired me to write more.”

“The workshop gave me the insight I needed to push from within myself.”

“Knowledge is golden. Sharing is great. We are not alone.”

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the art of storytelling and create lasting memories to share with your family and friends.
