Live Production of “You’re Only Old Once”: Thursday, August 22nd at 2:00pm and 6:00pm

If laughter is your best medicine, come see your fellow seniors perform “You’re Only Old Once!” which is a delightful new defense against aging. Anyone who has ever submitted to a battery of medical tests will empathize with this Dr. Seuss character. This play follows our senior through her checkup with the experts at the Golden Years Clinic. Dr. Seuss lightens the aches and pains of growing old with his inimitable wit and wisdom.
