Tuggerah Lakes University of the Third Age (U3A) group is looking for more interested seniors to take part in its bi-monthly play reading classes.
Members read and act out many classic and contemporary short plays for enjoyment and several of the members also write plays to be read out.
One of these plays was recently short-listed in a Sydney Literary Awards function.
Each year the group rehearses several plays which are performed at an annual U3A presentation.
Christine Kilner, who runs the play reading class, said the not-for-profit organisation encourages seniors to keep learning, thereby keeping the brain active.
“Due to ageing members and failing health, our numbers have decreased,” Kilner said.
“We have therefore recently lost the room we had at The Entrance Community Centre.
“My aim is to get more members and regain our room.”
At the moment the play reading class meets on the first and third Mondays of each month from 10am until noon at Shelly Beach Golf Club.
