STAGEBRIDGE is the nation's oldest Senior Theatre Company. Based in Oakland, California, STAGEBRIDGE is an arts organization that uses theatre and storytelling to bridge the generation gap by breaking down stereotypes and stimulating more positive attitudes toward aging. STAGEBRIDGE’s intergenerational programs feature senior theater productions, storytelling in the schools, nurses training programs, acting classes for seniors, and writing contests for children. Through these programs, we demonstrate our vision of cooperation, creativity, and joy among people of all ages and backgrounds.
