Target Theatre Society Bulletin – May 2009

Target
Theatre’s new play “Age on Wheels” continues to roll along. We are pleased to announce that in addition to support in principle from the BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation, $25,000 in grants have been received, including a $3000 CRD grant for research and writing in collaboration with a community threatre professional; $12,000 from the BC Arts Council for mounting, pilot presentation, and preliminary dissemination in collaboration with local theatre professionals, the BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation, and community host groups; and a $10,000 grant from the Victoria Foundation for further mounting, pilot presentations and revisions in collaboration with the local community.

Target gratefully acknowledges the Province of British Columbia through the Direct Access Grant Program.

In the development of their mature driver project, Target acknowledges the support of the BC Arts Council, the Victoria Foundation, and the CRD through the participating municipalities of Saanich, Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, Highlands and Metchosin.

“Age on Wheels” deals with issues facing older drivers from the perspective of older drivers themselves. The play advocates for the interests of older drivers (mobility, independence, and understanding), explores
myths and facts about senior drivers, and at the same time raises questions about the physical and emotional capacities that could affect their driving ability. Interest in this area is growing, as statistically older drivers in British Columbia are the second largest demographic (after 16-25-year-olds) involved in collisions, and
because access to the automobile represents a major aide to independence in the lives of seniors.
