This FST Forum Discussion is inspired by themes presented in FST's Mainstage production of Older Than Dirt.

ABOUT OLDER THAN DIRT

Getting older isn’t for sissies but it sure is good for a laugh. Older than Dirt is the third installment in FST’s For
the Ages project, our documentary theatre series focuses on aging and end of life issues. Old Enough to Know
Better focused on aging generally, both the fun discoveries and the trying challenges. Last Rights examined
end of life issues, and the decisions we have to make as we approach death in old age. In Older than Dirt we
attempt to use laughter as our best medicine. So many people have written songs about aging, and FST has
turned those songs into a cabaret to give us all the chance to laugh at ourselves for a while.
