A theater company in South Sioux City, Neb., is launching a new program for seniors, which will offer acting workshops, scene studies, and theatrical productions of new Broadway show adaptations, reports KMEG-14 . "There are just so many ways we can take this program to all kind of age levels and to all kind of ability levels," said New Stage Players Program Coordinator Deborah Morgan. "You can play any part you want, your age does not matter." Morgan added that the program will offer seniors a venue to express their talents and stay active. "Our mission statement is to bring theater to this area of Nebraska to all people who live here, not just the abled ones, and not just the ones who are terrific actors," she said.
