Time of Your Life Players is a troupe of actors ranging in age from 55 years to the 70s, who create and perform original musical comedies in order to present a senior perspective and utilize diverse talents. The troupe has performed over 50 shows at senior centers, retirement homes and residences, assisted living facilities, public libraries, park districts, summer fests and the Bailiwick Arts Center, Apollo Theatre Studio, Stage 773 (formerly Theatre Building Chicago), the Wilmette Theatre and Greenhouse Theater Center.
Our mission is to educate and entertain from a senior perspective and to demonstrate that one can lead a creative life at any age.
At the end of each performance, we have a post-show discussion about the topics relevant to seniors that were brought forth in the performance. Dr. Sandra Swantek, Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation, and Janice Cichowlas, Ph.D. and Gerontologist with a certificate in Health Law, facilitate and lead the discussions, along with a group of professionals in the field of aging. Representatives from the Alzheimer's Association will be leading the post-show discussions for "Rock 'n' Roll AD".
This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency, and Henrietta Lange Burk Fund, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee.
Time of Your Life Players will perform our new, original one-act musical comedy, Feb. 27 through Mar. 29, 2013, at Stage 773.
“Rock ’n’ Roll AD” takes the audience on a wild ride as Roy gets his band together for one last tour and then is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease. Roy’s unbreakable spirit, sense of humor, and irreverent attitude allow him to continue the tour and learn how to live with the disease.
Time of Your Life Players is seeking actors, dancers, singers and musicians age 55 and upward for our 2013 original musical comedy, “Rock ‘n’ Roll AD.”
Auditions will be held January 2013 at The Wellington Avenue United Church of Christ.

Time of Your Life Players encourages you to sign Arts Alliance Illinois' Culture Counts online petition. 
For the first time in 25 years, the City of Chicago is developing a cultural plan.
Our last cultural plan created the downtown theater district and city-funded grants for the arts. Signing the Culture Counts online petition is an easy way to tell city leaders that the arts are important to you.
