(Top image) Yokosuka Senior Theater Company mid-term performance (last year)
Odawara Senior Theater Troupe "Chiliac Oldies" is born!
Kanagawa Prefecture is promoting the realization of a symbiotic society through the Magnet Culture (Magcul) initiative, which attracts people with the charm of culture and the arts and creates a lively community. As part of the "Symbiotic Co-creation Project" that allows everyone, from children to adults, to participate in and enjoy performing arts, regardless of disability or age, the "Odawara Senior Theater Company Chiliac Oldies" will be born, following the "Yokosuka Senior Theater Company Yossha!!" and "Ayase Senior Theater Company Moromi Kojiza" launched last year. Seniors, why not create a work together and perform on stage? Please note that measures are being taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in this project.

<5> Response to COVID-19
We will decide whether or not to hold rehearsals and performances where we gather at a rehearsal studio depending on the infection status of COVID-19. If we hold group rehearsals, we will establish guidelines for senior theater companies that stipulate restrictions on the number of people allowed in the rehearsal studio, ventilation, maintaining social distance, wearing masks, etc., and will implement thorough measures to prevent the spread of infection. In addition, if we are unable to hold group rehearsals due to the infection status, we may ask you to practice at home using video calls on your smartphone or computer, video streaming, or distribution of DVDs.
(Only for those who wish to participate. Methods vary depending on the theater company.)
