The Northwest Senior Theater ( NST ) is a group of experienced 55 and older singers, dancers, actors, musicians and production folks who still thoroughly enjoy performing. We still love the challenge of building a character, stretching our limbs and strengthening our voices. The ultimate joy is the delight we see in our audiences.
Our mission is to provide opportunties for seniors to participate in the performing arts to share these performing arts with other seniors and the community at large and thereby to develop positive attitudes towards aging.
NST is comprised of retirees not ready to put their voices and bodies out to pasture. Each new member brings something valuable and unique to our productions so they are varied and always offer something new. Broadway, the movies, television, radio and vaudeville have influenced our shows.
Our Artistic Director develops each show and encourages cast input. Our Music Director, Tracey Edson, makes sure we hit the right notes at the right time. Originally we drew audiences primarily from retirement homes bused in for an afternoon of entertainment. However, word has gotten out that NST offers a unique and entertaining afternoon that doesn’t break the bank.
