Arts & Entertainment

SUPER SENIORS!

From left: Kathryn Shaw, Annabel Kershaw, and Patti Allan celebrate the Ups and Downs of life after 100!

When: Thursday, June 6 to Sunday, June 23. Evenings Wednesday to Saturday t 7:30 p.m. Matinees Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday at 2 p.m.
Where: PAL Studio Theatre
Cost: Preview $30 | Matinees $33 | Evenings $37, available here.
Details: Western Gold Theatre presents the World Premiere of Katherine Shaw’s Super Seniors, directed by Anita Rochon.

Ever wonder what it would be like to be alive and kicking at 105? this new comedy takes you to the Fairfield Residence to meet three women over the age of 105 who have differing responses to their extraordinarily long lives. Based on experience with her own ancient family members, the writer brings insight and humour to the conundrum of extreme old age.

Playwright Shaw found herself newly retired in the middle of the pandemic, having spent 35 years as the artistic director at Studio 58, the Professional Theatre Training Program at Langara College. She used the  space and time to explore new creative avenues.

She had an image of being in a room together with her grandmother and mother when they were all very old. Says Shaw, “My grandmother lived to 106, and my mother to 105. Given my DNA heritage I felt it was possible I could live equally long. Slowly the idea for Super Seniors emerged, a play about three very old unrelated women living in a seniors’ home - one character roughly modelled on my grandmother, one roughly modelled on my mother and the third my imagining what I would be like at 105. I wanted the play to be primarily a comedy, to focus on the here and now, day to day lives of three vibrant women with different responses to their extreme old age.“

Come visit the Fairfield Residence and meet Mildred (Patti Allan), Hildy (Annabel Kershaw), and Elizabeth (Kathryn Shaw), lively centenarians all, and discover what it’s like to be alive and kicking when you’re well over 100!
