Are you a theater buff or an aspiring actor yearning to showcase your skills?
Check out The Studio Improv, in the heart of Yorba Linda, where passionate performers of all ages channel their love of acting and improv through a variety of engaging, community-driven classes and camps.
Patricia Anderson is the director of The Studio Improv’s beloved “Seniors on Stage” program.
“Our program brings together a remarkable group of seniors who have developed a true passion for theater and performance, and who continue to inspire not only one another but also our community at large. I teach a range of acting classes, including improv, film, theater, and commercial acting for adolescents to senior citizens, but this group of seniors is something truly special!”
For two years now, the group has graced the stage of the Yorba Linda Cultural Arts Center in the Virginia DeLand Theater, delighting audiences with their impressive abilities. Patricia’s cast currently consists of 15 sensational seniors–and she couldn’t be prouder of their development.
“I genuinely believe they are an exceptional group. Each student brings a unique background, many having overcome significant life challenges to pursue their passion for the arts. Witnessing their growth and dedication has been nothing short of inspiring.”
In addition to all that they have learned onstage, the group has developed a special bond in their everyday lives.
“Our class has developed a strong sense of camaraderie that has blossomed into a close-knit theater family. They often connect outside of class, meeting for social gatherings and keeping up with each other through our group texts.”
What resonates most with Patricia about Seniors on Stage is how they’ve enriched one another’s lives as a whole.
“This group represents the spirit of community, resilience, and the joy that comes with trying new things,” she says. “There’s never an age limit on talent or fun!”
