Play synopsis:

When three cousins get together to sing at their grandmother’s 100th birthday party, some unexpected secrets get revealed as they travel down memory lane through her trunks and journals. As they explore their grandmother’s life through song, their own hopes, fears, and secrets are revealed as well. It’s a delightful journey through a life and decades of music.

In Act Two the three cousins put on a fabulous concert featuring hits like Mr. Sandman, Silver Bells and Golden Needles, and Sincerely.

Here are some comments from our show in March:

“The singing was very impressive. The complex storyline, delivered by only three talented women, was fascinating, ladies.”- Erdeen Martin

“BRAVO for a show well done and conceived! Lovely selection of songs for your harmonies and storyline.” – Kathleen Ross

“What a wonderful performance…. I hate to admit it, but they brought tears to my eyes several times and when all three sang together it sounded like one voice.” – Ted Picard

Young At Heart Musical Theatre for Seniors, Inc., a non-profit charity organization, produces original Canadian musicals and presents them to isolated seniors who are living in community care centres, manors, seniors’ residences and other venues where seniors gather. Our shows are designed to stimulate seniors’ minds, spirits and imaginations, often taken them back to a time gone by.

Young At Heart Musical Theatre for Seniors is supported by the Seniors Secretariat of PEI and The Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty.

The proceeds from the performances of Fascinating Ladies will go towards future shows for seniors. Our next production, Canada In Love, is scheduled to tour to island senior facilities in Feb and March, 2012.
