Join us for an enchanted afternoon celebrating senior creativity, original theatre, and the magic of San Antonio. Presented by the Seniors in Play Writers Group.

Once Upon a Time in San Antonio…

Three bears with a love for puffy tacos roamed Brackenridge Park.

A rose at the center of the Botanical Gardens held a long-forgotten secret.

Princesses from two different worlds battled atop a Fiesta parade float.

.

Can a Slavic transplant with chicken legs help La Llorona and El Cucuy come to terms with their mythic origins?

Will a can of magic beans help the Spurs climb to victory?

Can three sips of a Big Red help Dorothy find her way home?

Over the past year, our Seniors in Play playwrights have created a series of original ten-minute plays. These works—each inspired by a fairy tale, folklore, or myth with a San Antonio twist—will be brought to life through staged readings performed by a troupe of Seniors in Play actors from across the city.

Seniors in Play is a dynamic 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of San Antonio’s seniors through theatrical programming that fosters creativity, connection, and joy. Founded by award-winning actor and director Tony Plana, the organization currently operates in 14 senior centers across the city and continues to grow. Our mission is to provide seniors with meaningful opportunities for self-expression, personal growth, and community engagement, creating a vibrant space where their stories and talents shine.

A black farce masterpiece, LOOT follows the fortunes of two young thieves, Hal and Dennis. Dennis is a hearse driver for an undertaker. They have robbed the bank next door to the funeral parlour and have returned to Hal’s home to hide-out with the loot. Hal’s mother has just died and the pair put the money in her coffin, hiding the body elsewhere in the house. With the arrival of Inspector Truscott, the thickened plot turns topsy-turvy.
