It’s early days, but I have launched an idea for a play to be written, directed, acted, and staged in-house  about life at YaPoAh Terrace.  A play to feature residents’ personal stories, with humor and heart,  like “What brought me to YaPoAh” and “What have I experienced here,” recounted on stage by resident actors.  My vision is to have this foster a greater sense of community within a building with 220 apartments for low income seniors.  An extension of my idea, brought to the fore by fellow resident Savanah Forster, is to eventually have something that could be shared with the larger Eugene-Springfield community to show what seniors can do.  I posted a First Call in the December newsletter, News With A View, for people who are interested in the project to  contact me.  I’m interviewing the first person to step forward tomorrow, a woman who is a singer-songwriter and pianist.  It won’t stop there.  Stay tuned.
