Mission Statement
Stagebridge’s mission is to foster a vibrant community where all lifelong learners are celebrated and enriched through the performing arts
About This Cause
Founded in 1978 by Dr. Stuart Kandell, Stagebridge is the nation’s oldest senior theatre and an award-winning pioneer in the field of Creative Aging. We are fundamentally transforming perceptions of aging from the traditional view of inevitable decline to an image – and reality – of continuous growth and creative expansion. We offer professionally led, participatory arts programs for older adults, intergenerational education programs for elementary students, outreach performances and workshops to active and frail seniors, as well as training programs for health and service providers utilizing the arts. Stagebridge demonstrates in action the many ways in which elders improve and enrich our culture and our communities. Stagebridge is nationally recognized as a leader in healthy aging. It was the 2009 winner of the American Society on Aging/MetLife MindAlert Award, the 2013 winner of MetLife's Creative Aging Award, and has been featured in regional and national media sources including The Huffington Post, American Theatre, the Washington Post, Oakland Magazine, AARP magazine, and the Oakland Tribune, among numerous other sources.
