About the discussion:
The population of our country is shifting as the Boomer Generation crosses past the age of 65. Culturally, economically, politically, and medically we are facing new and intertwined end of life issues. While FST's current cabaret show Older Than Dirt engages with these issues in a humorous way, our Forum Discussion will explore more deeply just how an aging community can live not only longer lives, but also intentionally fuller lives. Join our expert panelists for this informative and empowering discussion of how to ensure your voice and decisions are heard and understood.

Older Than Dirt
Older Than Dirt provides a witty and heartfelt 360 degree view of aging. From the physical challenges to re-entering the dating scene, this concert celebrates the ups and downs of getting older. Older Than Dirt brings back the wacky writers of Laughing Matters combined with some of the funniest songs ever written on aging. From joints popping to mirrors mocking, this show proves you should never be ashamed of your age. Featuring songs such as, "Age of Urology," "The Cougar Boogie," "Father Time And Gravity," and "Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)."
