Theatrical play, performance, and original storytelling for Seniors — taught by professional actors and artist instructors

Everyone welcome! No experience necessary.

Using humour and fun acting games in a safe, lighthearted environment, we awaken our senses and explore the world of storytelling.

Fun. Freeing. Stimulating our imaginations.

Guaranteed!

Building community through play and laughter

Golden Firefly participants connect weekly to work with professional actors and artist instructors. Together in-person they open their imaginations and develop their sense of play through theatre games, acting exercises, improvisations, and stories.

Important!

In the spirit of theatre team work, if you are feeling sick please stay home. We want you to take care of yourself and get better quickly. We also need to do our best to stop spreading sickness as much as we can.

What people say about the Golden Firefly Project

“Everyone has a story. They just need someone to hear it.” (Participant)
“Although Firefly is an inclusive, non-judgemental class, it took me a L-O-N-G- time to develop even an ounce of confidence, now I realise, how valuable the Firefly program is, on a number of levels, not least of which is neighbours meeting neighbours for the first time and the camaraderie that comes from that.” (Participant)
“I started, with a feeling of scared frozen, was definitely more an observer than a doer, later to realise the Firefly Program was thought provoking, entertaining and fun! (Participant)
“(I learned) that I can overcome memory, reading, breathing difficulties – improved self-confidence.” (Participant)
“The program was very much in demand and highly successful in decreasing the social isolation of seniors in the community and improving their quality of life.” (Senior Centre Representative)
