Retired, Rewired, and Ready for the Spotlight

The Vintage Players, founded 23 years ago, providing seniors with the chance to perform, create, and share their stories - keeping theatre a lifelong experience. Following the success of last summer's production of Life in the Wings, this troupe now begins a new chapter as The New Vintage Players, reaffirming their role as a cornerstone of senior theatre in our community. This commitment to creativity and connection reflects Theatre Lawrence's mission to enrich, educate, and entertain through the power of live theatre. No auditions or memorization needed! Join us today!
