“If you or a loved one are experiencing memory loss, it can be a difficult topic to discuss. That’s why one organization is hosting a play with a purpose.
The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) in Eau Claire County is bringing the Remember Project to a screen near you. Normally, these are live performances but this year they hope to connect even more families by hosting it virtually. A performance of “In the Garden” will be available to help families, care partners and anyone in the community learn about memory loss.
The group uses the approach of a theatre performance to start the discussion of dementia and then host breakout sessions to continue the conversations. ‘The overarching goal with the Remember Project is to use the arts as an invitation to have discussion about dementia and the most commonly known form of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease,’ said director, Danette McCarthy.”
The performance of “In the Garden” on February 23 at 6 p.m. on Zoom is free to the public. Register for the performance.
