Show InfoSenioritis – We’re Still Here!, written and conceived by Donna D Lipari is a fresh, original musical bursting with laughter, heart, and a whole lot of wisdom. Eight spirited seniors, ages 70 to 80, all move into an assisted living facility on the very same day. At first, they're weighed down by sadness, convinced life as they knew it has come to an end. But that gloom quickly flips to joy when they discover that aging isn't a limitation—it’s an opportunity.
