(August, 2019) More than 100 seniors from Southern Maine enjoyed a free afternoon of great food, live theater and great camaraderie on Thursday, Aug. 22nd at the famed Ogunquit Playhouse

The attendees participated in the first program of the Tramuto Foundation and Ogunquit Playhouse Human Rights Partnership, aimed at eliminating social isolation and loneliness among aging adults. With a $300,000 endowment awarded by the Tramuto Foundation and its Chairman and founder, Donato Tramuto, which will generate income each year for new projects, Ogunquit Playhouse joined forces with the Wells Ogunquit Senior Center at Moody and the Silver Sneakers®  program at the Institute for Integrative Aging at St. Joseph’s College in Portland, to offer deeply discounted tickets to the matinee of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express.

Social isolation is a growing concern among aging adults, and because of physical disabilities or cultural circumstances many are unable to attend theatre performances. This event was part of the ongoing national effort by Donato Tramuto, the CEO of Tivity Health, to help alleviate senior loneliness and eliminate barriers that prevent senior citizens from enjoying active, healthy and independent lives.
