    Our fab & refreshing guest Edith Tankus, an award winning director and performer, shares the power of creative connection in later life, reflecting on intergenerational gaps, the cultural differences between East and West in how we value aging, and the magic that happens when we create “beautiful little rooms” filled with joy, theatre, music, and meaning.

    We talk theatre, transformation, and the quiet revolutions taking place when older adults are seen, heard, and creatively celebrated.
