"Anna's Story" - Interactive theatre play performed by seniors addressing senior mental health
Event date: -
Event type: Single day (a day or less)
This March, seniors are going to perform a Forum Theatre play about their experience of loneliness, depression, and anxiety during the pandemic.
Can you help our seniors find new ways to get the support they need to cope during COVID-19? Join us at these interactive Forum Theatre events where you can try out strategies to create positive change for them (and support our brave seniors, who will be performing in public for the very first time!)
Mixed Company Theatre presents:
“Anna’s Story Complications After Loss”
“Anna’s Story: Family Complications After Loss” is created in collaboration with seniors from Elspeth Heyworth Centre for Women about coping with loss.
In the first half of the presentation, you will watch Anna, the protagonist, struggle to find the support she needs to navigate her emotional, financial, and technological needs after the loss of her husband.
Then, her story will be presented again - only this second time, you will get the opportunity to suggest changes to result in a positive alternative ending!
This play is scripted and facilitated by Pavla Uppal with support from Elizabeth Wickwire.

Although I won't be able to make it live for this session, I would LOVE to view a recording, if possible.
Will it be available, and should I register? Are you planning a second live session of this event?
Hi Susie, Unfortunately, we won't be able to share a recording. We have two more dates under the event "COVID Concerns". It is another play by seniors exploring the senior mental health theme through a different group of seniors. And is on March 25 and 31st at 10 - 11:30 AM ET. Hope you can make it there!
Thanks for your reply. I worked it out, and I'd like to register for the “Anna’s Story Complications After Loss” interactive training after all. Please confirm and send link at your convenience.
