 My name is Gina Valleva. I am 64 years young and I would like to introduce you to Next-Stage Productions Santa Cruz. Next-Stage Productions is a creative arts collaborative designed for and by seniors. Next-Stage improves the quality of life, enriches our culture and our community through creative aging. Next-Stage is sponsored by the Arts Council of Santa Cruz County. Next-Stage's mission is to provide easy affordable access to the educational, artistic and wellness opportunities for public benefit. Next-Stage has created a safe space for artistic exploration, growth and achievement through adaptive training and social interaction. We offer classes, workshops and performances which provide opportunities for adults over the age of 50 as well as a joyful experience for a community of all ages to enjoy. I have witnessed my classmate blossom as their hidden talents were revealed. A personal success to behold. For more information our website is www.NextStageSantaCruise.org. View our programs for the summer at Cabrillo College June 18th through the 24th. And add years to your life and life to your years with Next-Stage.
