Project title: Elder's Theatre Completely describe Project approved by the Grants Panel and in a separate narrative detail all revisions to the Project based upon the City Commission approved award. Please be as specific as possible; name of event, specific dates, venues, times, artists, etc. Use extra page if necessary. Proiect description as approved bv Grants Panel: Funds are requested to support and promote a series of staged performances of "Juego de Damas" (Ladies' Games) presented by 10 elderly amateur actors. These free performances will be held at four community centers through the City of Miami Beach and will integrate verbal interaction between the participants and the audience. The presentations will be offered in English and Spanish. The project will be presented at the following venues: 1. March, IS\ 2006 -North Shore Community Center 7250 Collins Ave. 2. March 7th, 2006 -21 st St. Community Center 2100 W ashington Avenue 3. March 15th, 2006 -21 st St. Community Center 2100 W ashington Avenue 4. March 22nd, 2006 -North Shore Community Center 7275 Collins Avenue 5. March 28th, 2006 - Miami Beach Senior Center 610 Espanola Way Date line for the Projects: From March 1 S\ 2006 to March 29th 2006. Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. After each presentation there will be a discussion panel between actors and participants to ascertain the impact that the presentation had in the audience. The proposed project is unique as it involves the participation of one of the most neglected segments of our population, the elders. Most of our seniors are immigrants and have had to go through the process of adapting to a new culture which in most cases and due to their advanced years, they have found difficulty due to their inability to adapt. This has led, in a great number of cases to isolation. This project allows seniors to have direct contact with other seniors that have embraced the theatre as an artistic tool that brought fulfillment to their lives. Our project, "Ladies Games" is specifically targeted to seniors and it is performed by a group of elders (ranging in age between 65 and 87 years). Our project is an immensely socially rewarding project where Theatre is being used as the artistic therapeutic tool to help solve some of the elders' problem with depression and isolation. It is a project that unifies a community and also creates a bridge to aid seniors to actively participate in the creative process of the community in which they live. Also, since a great percentage of Miami Beach tourism consists of Hispanic visitors that make Miami Beach their home for at least three to six months intervals, this project allows them to participate in the experience and learn more about the wonderful ethnic and multi-cultural background that makes Miami Beach unique.
