Director, Robb Hutter, MFA, brings to Philly Senior Stage thirty years of professional experience as an actor, director and teacher. He was artistic director of Temple University’s Full Circle Intergenerational Theatre, an educational theatre company whose mission was to use theatre as a vehicle to help audiences explore issues of social and personal concern. Robb specializes in devising original theatre pieces from the life experiences and stories of the people he teaches. Robb is passionate about creative theatre for older adults and helping them discover their innate creativity and talent, and explore their seasoned and playful spirits. “Learning is a lifelong journey.
