Assisted Living...The Musical
Sunday November 3 2024
From early retirement right up to the pulling of the plug, 21st Century seniors are partying like it’s 1969. Imagine: no work, no pregnancy and a full array of Medicare-subsidized pharmaceuticals. It’s the Boomer dream!
These Boomers are partying at Pelican Roost, the very active retirement community that is home to the 18-different characters played by the show’s two actors. Pelican Roost is where 70-something is the new 20-something…only with looser skin.
Assisted Living: The Musical® is for everyone who is aging, and for those who hope to. And that includes you!
