Adult University
Join us for a day of learning, music and of course, food. Our featured performance at 1 p.m. will be the play Loop performed by Slaying Dragons theater company. It refers to the way the mind of an Alzheimer’s sufferer works…in a loop. The story concerns the difficulties one family of three generations must face when their elderly relative is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. There is a nice balance of humor provided by the third generation who tries to keep the atmosphere more lively and take the stress off the family. The play, adapted from the original play by John Williams, reflects the struggles of the family but adds the element of humor so that the audience is left with a hopeful outlook.
