COVID Concerns - Interactive play performed by seniors addressing mental health
Event date: -
Event type: Single day (a day or less)
This March, our seniors are going to perform two Forum Theatre plays 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 “COVID Concerns”
“COVID Concerns” is created in collaboration with the seniors from Scarborough Centre for Healthy Communities about mental health challenges they are facing during the pandemic.
In the first half of this play, you will see how the senior characters in the story become overwhelmed by new technology, fears of contracting COVID-19, and being alienated from loved ones.
Then, the story will be presented again - only this second time, you will get the opportunity to suggest changes to result in a positive alternative ending!
Scripted and facilitated by Luciano Iogna with support from Max Cameron Fearon and Lorene Stanwick.
Dates: Thursday March 25th, Wednesday March 31st
Time: 10:00 – 11:30 AM (ET)
Price: Free!
