The long-awaited return of a coveted musical, Senior Moments, is set to grace the stage for four dates beginning Saturday, Sept. 22 and continuing through Sunday, Sept. 30 at Jewish Community Center of Greater Albuquerque. The premise alone, which is essentially “aging old people dealing with aging youth,” not only cements a wider audience, it celebrates the change in generations. The content of the writing and the directorial guidance makes this performance a cultural staple that everyone from baby boomers to millenials can relate to. Curtains rise at 2 and 7:30pm each weekend and tickets cost $18 for general admission, $15 for seniors/JCC members and $20 at the door. For more information visit jccabq.org
