This Chair Rocks

Book Description
“Wow. This book totally rocks. It arrived on a day when I was in deep confusion and sadness about my age. Everything about it, from my invisibility to my neck. Within four or five wise, passionate pages, I had found insight, illumination, and inspiration. I never use the word empower, but this book has empowered me.” —Anne Lamott, New York Times bestselling author Author, activist, and TED speaker Ashton Applewhite has written a rousing manifesto calling for an end to discrimination and prejudice on the basis of age. In our youth obsessed culture, we’re bombarded by media images and messages about the despairs and declines of our later years. Beauty and pharmaceutical companies work overtime to convince people to purchase products that will retain their youthful appearance and vitality. Wrinkles are embarrassing. Gray hair should be colored and bald heads covered with implants. Older minds and bodies are too frail to keep up with the pace of the modern working world and olders should just step aside for the new generation. Ashton Applewhite once held these beliefs too until she realized where this prejudice comes from and the damage it does. Lively, funny, and deeply researched, This Chair Rocks traces her journey from apprehensive boomer to pro-aging radical, and in the process debunks myth after myth about late life. Explaining the roots of ageism in history and how it divides and debases, Applewhite examines how ageist stereotypes cripple the way our brains and bodies function, looks at ageism in the workplace and the bedroom, exposes the cost of the all-American myth of independence, critiques the portrayal of elders as burdens to society, describes what an all-age-friendly world would look like, and offers a rousing call to action. It’s time to create a world of age equality by making discrimination on the basis of age as unacceptable as any other kind of bias. Whether you’re older or hoping to get there, this book will shake you by the shoulders, cheer you up, make you mad, and change the way you see the rest of your life. Age pride!
Senior Adult Theatre

Book Description
Presenting concrete suggestions for starting and developing theater experiences of all types for senior adults, this handbook is designed to help three groups: professional theater people who may become involved in projects for older persons; professional workers with the elderly who may want to recruit or work with theater people; and senior adults who may want to encourage and enjoy a theater project. The handbook could be called a descriptive catalog of ways to enrich life in retirement centers, in nursing homes, and in congregate meal or recreation centers, by means of senior adult theater (SAT) activities. Following an introductory chapter, which challenges all Americans to recognize the need for theater experiences among fellow citizens of senior status, five longtime SAT workers distill the essence of their experience. Chapters 2-4 deal mainly with starting an SAT group and with the chief artistic lines that such a group may pursue: standard production, readers' theater, and creative drama or improvisation. Attention is given to everyday matters such as maximizing participation (through multiple casting as well as backstage or front-of-the-house activities), minimizing strain on players and audiences (through simple but effective staging), and cooperating with the younger players' groups. Chapter 5-7 consider such practical matters as serving senior audiences (through players from "inside" or "outside"), selecting and obtaining scripts, and budgeting and funding. The five contributors do not invariably agree on approach or emphasis, though always on humane standards. Main points are illustrated by references to actual SAT projects, often accompanied by photographs. Illustrations frequently are drawn from Older Americans on Stage, a nationwide survey of SAT activities conducted by the American Theatre Association with funding from the Kennedy Center's Alliance for Art Education. The ATA has had a standing committee on SAT since 1973 and has supported preparation of this handbook.
