COMPANY COLABS Embracing Your Third Act Monday Evening Dates & Times Monday, March 9, 2026 – 7:00pm-8:30pm on Zoom Co-Facilitated by Bob Ari and Jodie Lynne McClintock Launch Zoom Link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89773787278?pwd=KbO57GdW4FRZI4UTqxqxyHpPoAw12d.1 About the CoLab From Co-Facilitator Jodie Lynne McClintock: “Aging means discovering that beauty was never in our skin … but in the story we carry inside us.” This CoLab offers an exploration of the challenges and the gifts that come to actors as we age. As member Bob Ari noted at our last full company meeting, many of our current membership are over half a century old in an industry where youth is always at the fore. How do we, as artists, continue to create and thrive when the opportunities and auditions are dwindling? Similar to an in-person meeting in 2019 that resulted in the Plays For Us initiative and our ongoing Community Space, we are hosting a Zoom meeting to gauge interest, voice our concerns, pool resources, discover our strengths, explore advocacy, and support each other as we navigate this process. This CoLab is open to members of all ages as we all get older each day; and with differing perspectives, we may find hope and fresh answers to our common human dilemma. As the saying goes, “We don't stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing.” About the Series Company CoLabs are a series at The Actors Center that offer a framework for collaborative explorations and community programming among company members. Company members host or facilitate projects—play reading groups, explorations of new material or approaches, writing labs, devising work, field trips, retreats—in short, anything inspiring to explore among peers. CoLabs offer creative outlets to explore work you might not otherwise have the opportunity for, while continuing to share resources and deepen connections among our Actors Center community.
