WOMEN OVER SIXTY HAVE ‘ ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE…?’
CHALLENGING THE MYTH… “AGING IS NOT FOR SISSIES”
The
popular and acclaimed Public Performance of “AGING IS NOT FOR SISSIES”
is returning by popular demand. The show is an eclectic array of funny
and poignant monologues: “real stories told by real women” that give
the audience a first hand glimpse into the inner workings of single
women 60-100 years old in a culture that worships youth.
Dr. Pratibha Eastwood, Honolulu psychologist, author of Nine
Windows to Wholeness,
and creator of “AGING IS NOT FOR SISSIES” began interviewing these
women after an epiphany just 6 months away from her own 65th birthday.
“I wanted to create an entertaining presentation that would challenge
the myth that being over sixty means a woman is “over the hill with one
foot in the grave!”… And she did.
“AGING IS NOT FOR
SISSIES” is performed in concert reader’s theatre style with a cast
including Writer/Actor/Psychologist: Pratibha Eastwood; award winning
Director/Actor Joyce Maltby and Award-Winning Actors Jo Pruden, Sylvia
Hormann-Alper, Blossom Lam-Hoffman and Roshani Shay, Executive Director
of the Hawaii Wellness Institute.
The next performances will be at The Unity Church of Hawaii
