Cynthia hopes you’ll invite her to present her one woman show “Family Stories & Other Guests”, featuring plenty of audience interaction, storytelling, various characters, & special requests. You’ll enjoy her humorous human interest style! She is a professional actress with many years of experience, performing live theatre in Boston and locally.   Also, she has been a teacher for 30 years, and currently teaches acting at colleges and schools in the Portland area.  She has a degree in theater & psychology, which offers greater empathy & skill in reaching her audience.  In addition to entertainment, this show is designed to evoke audiences’ own memories, share their stories with each other, inspire & create more trust, interest & community thereafter. 

This show has an adaptation very beneficial for Memory Care residents. It involves more sensory stimulation, movement, audience interaction, spontaneity, evocative stories & characters.
