"French Cabaret" May 7

A talented troupe of senior singers, musicians & actors will be presenting their own spin on French Cabaret on May 7, in a free production presented by the Menlo Park Library.

Stagebridge Senior Theatre’s French Cabaret is led by Director Bruce Bierman, with a cast of singers, actors, and musicians from Stagebridge’s Performing Arts Institute. The group promises a fabulous and fun combination of beloved songs and energetic skits with a French flavor.

Stagebridge, based in Oakland, is the nation’s oldest and most renowned theatre company of older adults. Founded in 1978, the company’s mission is to transform the lives of older adults and their communities through the performing arts. Stagebridge accomplishes this with award-winning Creative Aging programs that offer older adults opportunities for lifelong learning and participation in the performing arts. Stagebridge’s unique position as a theatre company “for and of” seniors demonstrates in action the many ways in which elders enrich our culture and our communities.

The free performance is funded by the Friends of the Menlo Park Library, and will take place Saturday, May 7 at 1:00 p.m. at the Menlo Park City Council Chambers, located at 701 Laurel Street.

The Menlo Park Library sponsors many free programs throughout the year for people of all ages. For more information about events and services, visit the Menlo Park Library online at www.menlopark.org/library.
