Vintage Theatre Co-op
Vintage Theatre Co-op is a community run program which aims to enhance the wellbeing and quality of life of the socially isolated older person (65+) through providing accessible opportunities to engage in the performing arts. Each year the program participants work collaboratively with the programs Artistic Director Alan Hendry to create and perform new short intimate theatre works which hope to challenge the stereotypical view that the community has of how the older person should behave and act. The program is accessed through its "Don't Act your Age" workshops which are held at various community venues in and around Adelaide.
