RED BANK — Area seniors will have a chance to act up and get in touch with their creative selves through a new communitybased theater workshop geared for older adults.

The Atrium Actors Studio will stage classical and contemporary plays and will be hosted by The Atrium at Navesink Harbor in Red Bank, a senior living retirement community.

Philly Senior Stage Director Robb Hutter, who has 30 years of experience as an actor, director and teacher, will lead the studio, which will also present original theater performances drawn from personal experience with older adults as actors, according to a press release from The Atrium.

Hutter was artistic director of Temple University’s Full Circle Intergenerational Theatre, an educational theater company whose mission was to use theater as a vehicle to help audiences explore issues of social and personal concern.

The Atrium Actors Studio will meet weekly at The Atrium on Monday afternoons from 1:30-3 p.m. beginning this month. There is no charge to participate but space is limited.

According to James A. Antonucci, The Atrium’s executive director, the new actors studio is in keeping with The Atrium’s focus on providing lifelong learning opportunities.

“Our new Actors Studio is just one more way in which we invite older adults to have fun and learn about themselves and the world of theater arts while unleashing their innate creativity,” he said in the press release.
