In this fascinating book, David Barnet tells the story of GeriActors & Friends, the Edmonton-based theatre group that includes as members both seniors from their late fifties to mid-nineties, and students and alumni from the University of Alberta. The group's founding artistic director, Barnet has watched it grow and evolve over the course of more than two decades. The Geris and Friends (as they refer to themselves) not only perform before a wide variety of audiences, but also write their own plays, some based on plays like Shakespeare's King Lear. In the course of writing, rehearsing, and performing, members have not only honed their theatrical skills, but have explored the many challenges that life presents, including those associated with aging. The book will appeal to anyone interested in intergenerational and community theatre, and includes excerpts from the Geris' plays as well as insight into the group's structure and operations.
