I didn't start performing until I was 70. At that time I was widowed and retired from a long teaching career, and decided to take a tap class--my lifelong dream. I was hooked, and as they say, the rest is history. From vaudeville schtick in nursing homes to senior center acting classes with Eliza, and now Encore!

I am 76 years young. Between working with Encore and the kids we perform for, and my two grandchildren whom I adore, I feel pretty great about life even old age.
