With so many challenges facing the world daily, a little laughter is always welcomed. "Seniors Acting Up", a group of talented local amateur actors ranging in age from sixties to eighties was formed by Milton Lestz z”l with short comedic staged readings as their specialty. 

The group this year includes:  Sylvia Allan, Linda Cantoni, Tom and Laura Gardner, Peter McCallion, Peter Podol, and Denise Roller.  All in the group share a love of community theater and that makes the performances special.

The troupe was originally called "Milton's Gang" and was formed and directed by Milton Lestz who sadly passed away in January 2025. He is dearly missed and all performances are dedicated to him.

This free program is part of the Federation’s Connecting With Community Series and will be followed by a kosher hot lunch. Suggested donation of $3 for adults over age 60.  $7 for all others. Advance reservations are required for lunch and can be made by calling (413) 442-2200 by 9 a.m. Wed, the day BEFORE the program.
