     You and your senior’s group are cordially invited to a live performance of the Rochester Theatre Premiere of the Award-Winning Musical, Come From Away on October 14th, Wednesday at 11:00AM at JCC CenterStage. This exclusive, by invitation only, event is made possible by OWLS – a local group of Older Wiser Learning Seniors. OWLS felt so strongly about this story and its impact on our world today that they endorsed a private showing at a reduced price for a weekday matinee just for our peers.

     The regular ticket price for scheduled performances is $45, for this performance only, your ticket is $25. The theater has 290 seats; there are no bad seats. In addition, close captioning will run for all lyrics and dialog. Won’t you join us for this fantastic opportunity?

     This is a 90-minute performance with no intermission. Stay in your seats after the show for a Q & A session with Chief Creative Officer and Director Ralph Meranto. Contact OWLS via text, email or website to reserve your spots.
