About the The Narrators

Narrators is a non-auditioned acting program for older adults (55+) designed to foster cognitive health and positive aging through participation in theatre arts. Each class session is two hours long and begins with vocal warm-ups and senior-friendly theatre games intended to boost confidence, camaraderie, and creative expression. The majority of the class time focuses on rehearsing a purposefully chosen script for public performance. Accessibility and inclusivity lie at the heart of the CFCArts mission. Narrators tailors the performance content to support each individual’s unique capabilities centering on their personal, social, and artistic growth.
