We’re going to catch up on our monthly photo albums with two months combined!
October: You might think that all the regular art, craft, writing, music, computer, and exercise classes EngAGE offers at our communities would fill the calendar, but, as usual, this month there were extra activities, too! Residents enjoyed a yard sale, ping pong, costume events, a chili cook-off, and many Halloween celebrations. A volunteer lecturer from the LA Opera came to BSAC with costumes, masks, posters and music from their upcoming production of “Voltaire.” The Word Reading Series at NoHoSAC featured the first thespian collaboration between EngAGE and The Road Theatre Company Professional actors performed a well-received reading of a resident’s first play.

And there was lots of activity in November, including Thanksgiving dinners, weekly movie nights, a screenwriting class, Actors’ Boot Camp, holiday crafts, and more! NoHoSAC celebrated its 1st birthday with a well-attended event. On another occasion, LA Opera Docent, Dr. Judith Hyman, gave a lecture about their current production, “The Magic Flute.” Mentoring residents at Piedmont and their 4th grade buddies worked together to make aromatic holiday ornaments out of cinnamon and applesauce. The Colburn School Master Musician Dylan Hart played classical music with French horn and educated residents about the world of classical music. At LBSAC, Peter Katano from the Actor’s Fund presented “Covered California,” in which he explained navigating the new health care reforms. Arts Generation was the first public art show hosted by EngAGE at LBSAC. (As more than one resident put it, they had “the best day ever.”) Enjoy the photos!
