I WANT TO SHARE MY
STORY...
SoACT: TOO OLD
FOR THE CHORUS
Too Old for the Chorus is a smart, funny
musical revue presented by the Wagga
Wagga School of Arts Community
Theatre about men and women who
find themselves suddenly 50! Set in a
neighbourhood retro coffee shop, five
characters express a gamut of their
frustrations and joys – from troublesome
relations with still-demanding parents to
finding delight in second careers (and
second chances), getting smarter, and
finally knowing that ‘age is just a number’.
The title celebrates life, finding fulfilment
and being appreciated for exactly who
you are.

Street, Wagga Wagga
