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, we check in about COVID Rapid testing at the start of the Winter session. Until everyone is comfortable to meet without COVID test at the start of each session, all of us will continue to test prior to attending each class. It’s a very supportive “all for one and one for all”. Everyone’s comfort level is different so please be respectful of everyone’s needs.

Silver Harbour Seniors’ Activity Centre
Golden Firefly is back at Silver Harbour Seniors’ Activity Centre! This is a 10 session program where each participant writes their own original story with the help of an artist instructor. Together the group explores different ways to bring each story to life – by acting them out together, storytelling or through puppetry and props.
“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)
