the Senior Theatre Festival & Conference was held in Asheville, North Carolina Senior Theatre USA is a national organization which produces Festivals every two years. Our mission is to encourage older adults to explore the performing arts. Our Beginnings The group began as a national organization in 1992 at a meeting of the ATHE Senior Theatre Focus Group. Members of this group included Ann McDonough who hosted three conferences at UNLV in Las Vegas (’93, ’95 & ’97); Arne Lindquist who hosted the ’99 conference & festival in Orlando, FL and the 2008 event; and Joy Reilly who hosted the 2002 International Conference at Ohio State University in Columbia, and Bonnie Vorenberg. At the ’99 conference, the Educational Theatre Association approached leaders of Senior Theatre USA. The board felt that merging the two organizations would solidify its newly stated mission of promoting education theatre “from cradle to grave.” Senior Theatre League of America was eventually formed under the umbrella of EdTA as a membership organization and produced the festival in Columbus, the 2004 festival in Las Vegas and the 2006 festival hosted by Dolores Kane in St. Louis. With the blessing of EDTA, the group returned to the Senior Theatre USA structure to produce and promote conferences and festivals for senior performers. Our Festivals The festivals are every two years. Over 200 Senior Theatre lovers attended performances, participated in workshops, and connected with other practitioners. Senior Theatre USA would like to invite you to attend and participate in our Festival & Conference in 2012. The date and location has not been decided.
