The Outrageous Sages is a troupe of multi-ethnic
senior adults who as actors, musicians and story-tellers highlight
the joys and values of growing older as they perform for and interact
with children at school assemblies.
The Outrageous Sages program consists of
a unique troupe of nine multi-ethnic actors, musicians, and storytellers,
ranging from 79 years to 95 years of age, whom deliver an exciting,
uplifting, hour-long educational presentation with music and stories
to assemblies of San Diego school children, preschool through 6th
grade. Performances create full audience participation while modeling
(teaching) literacy appreciation, values/conflict resolution, and
the joy of growing older.
The Outrageous Sages model manners and values
while dispelling destructive stereotypes and myths about aging.
Their performance creates full audience participation, involving
the students in improvisations, music and laughter. This entertaining
theatrical company is the first professional group that deals exclusively
with the characteristics, qualities, and attributes of growing older.
The skits are educational and entertaining and bring the children
into active participation.
