WESTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

Get ready to enjoy a performance by the members of OLLI at WMU Senior Reader’s Theater on Wed., May 14th at 1-3 pm. OLLI at WMU is short for Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Western Michigan University, an organization for people 50 and better, where age is embraced, and wisdom is celebrated.

The plays address both the humorous and dramatic aspects of what it means
to grow older. The talented ensemble strives to bring laughter and thought-
provoking moments to the stage to remind everyone that, in the tapestry of
life, none of us is alone. Join us as we explore the challenges and
camaraderie that comes with age, weaving tales that not only entertain but
also unite us in the understanding that our stories are intertwined.

This is a FREE event geared toward older adults (no children). Please call 269-629-9430 to rsvp or register online at richlandareacc.org, so we’ll know how many chairs to set up. There will be a talkback and discussion after the two performances.
