If you’re 60-years-old or older, this is your chance to be part of an exclusive club that allows you to learn new artistic skills and discover new talents.  

In an attempt to see more seniors take on an active role within the community, the Department of Active Aging and Community Care, the Ministry of National Heritage, and Teatru Malta have teamed up to launch this outreach project.

"This will give the project an intergenerational dimension, which I am optimistic will have a very positive social impact," Minister Michael Farrugia said.  

So, if you're big on theatre, looking to rekindle your love for the art, or just itching to try something new, then why not give this a shot?   

The club’s participants will be selected through an audition process as the project is aimed to cater for a group of 15 to -20 seniors. Sessions will take place once every fortnight (2 sessions per month for the same group) in the evening. 

Share this with a theatre lover!
