Page to Stage – Senior Living

Join us for a Book Club-style Page to Stage with the Portland Stage. Check out your copy of the script and join us two weeks before previews of each Mainstage Production. Scripts are available at the reference desk OR during curbside service at the Main Branch of the Portland Public Library. This year discussions will be held over Zoom at 6pm and we invite you to chat about the plays with Literary Manager Todd Brian Backus, his Directing and Dramaturgy Apprentices, and special guests. Please note that electronic versions of the script are NOT available at this time. If you have questions, please contact Raminta Moore, Moore@portlib.org

A play with music about people dying to live. At Riverdale Manor, a retirement community in the Bronx, seniors contemplate the possibility of dying from a broken heart, if divorce is even worth it at a certain age, and when is the right time to have sex again. A talent show, with the promise of cake for dessert, sets the scene for a series of life-changing vignettes that debate what to do with the time we have left.
