This program is designed for older adults (55+) with a curiosity or undiscovered interest in public speaking through performance, or to awaken their former passion and to rediscover their own unique voice.

In this weekly 90-minute group class we will explore recitation of poetry, drama, Shakespeare or prose. Selections can be chosen by participants themselves or sourced through the instructor.

Lyrical, original or narrative poetry, sonnets, storytelling, public speaking, drama, literature and Shakespeare selections are all options that can be considered.

Participants are encouraged to perform these pieces at the annual Kiwanis festival in Penticton taking place from April 9 -11, 2026 ($10 entrance fee required).
