It's tough to find a lighter side of growing old, but Senior Moments does just that. The group of elder actors has been touring the state with their new performance "There is a Tomorrow". It is five one act-plays dealing with issues like depression, isolation and the power of friendship. Yet this show is no tear-jerker, written for seniors by seniors, "There is a Tomorrow" tackles these issues with a mixture of laughs, head nodding moments and life lessons. Today on the Exchange we look at the challenges of growing older and have our actors perform scenes from their new show. Laura's guests are Lucille Karatzas, Director of Elder Services at Seacoast Mental Health Center and statewide director of the Referral Education Assistance and Prevention Program (REAP) and Joanne Dodge, co-founder and organizer of the Senior Moments performance group. Plus we'll be joined by some of the actors of "There is a Tomorrow"...Bob Reynolds, Barbara Randall, Claire Cane.
