Synopsis: | The lead character, after experiencing age discrimination in her work place and seeing how her mother is affected by ElderSpeak at the health care facility, comes up with a plan. With the help of her Mom and other residents of Shadyview Meadows, they create a hilarious change of attitude for staff members. The play refers to ElderSpeak, belittling forms of speech directed towards older people. Without thinking, many of us talk down to seniors, using and accepting ElderSpeak. Here the topic is addressed with sensitivity and humor without finger pointing or judgment. Performances have been well received at retirement homes, senior centers, and conferences for health care professionals. | ||||
