Back by popular demand that drew 1300+ audience members, the musical theatre production “Seniors Take on Things We Never Talk About” returns this July at the Anvil Theatre at Anvil Centre, New Westminster!
Through a unique blend of humour, music, and heartfelt storytelling, this production explores aging stereotypes, elder abuse, and the power of connection—challenging societal perceptions while celebrating the strength, resilience, and wisdom of seniors.
Celebrating MOSAIC’s 50th Anniversary: Together We Thrive
This musical theatre production is part of MOSAIC’s 50th Anniversary celebration, themed “Together We Thrive.” More than a performance, it reflects MOSAIC’s ongoing commitment to uplifting diverse voices and building inclusive communities.
By bringing immigrant seniors’ stories to the stage, this production highlights how shared experiences can spark understanding, connection, and meaningful change—one story, one audience member, and one conversation at a time.

These performances aim to amplify the voices, experiences, and wisdom of immigrant seniors. By addressing elder abuse, ageing stereotypes, and the importance of social connection, we hope to spark meaningful conversations and foster a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by our senior community in their ongoing journeys toward self-awareness, growth, meaning, and purpose.
Story Behind The Scenes Musical
This production is deeply rooted in a vision that extends beyond the stage. By amplifying the voices of immigrant seniors, we aim to foster awareness, empathy, and connection across communities.
Like a drop of water creating expanding circles, each story shared has the potential to create ripples of understanding and action. Every audience member, every conversation, and every connection contributes to a larger movement toward inclusion and belonging.
This work reflects MOSAIC’s belief that meaningful change often begins with one courageous voice being heard.
Newcomer Experience
While the stories begin with older adults, they also reflect the experiences of many newcomers to Canada—building a new life, overcoming isolation, navigating language barriers, finding belonging, and rediscovering purpose.
Returning Audiences
Returning audiences will discover new moments of reflection, humour, and inspiration as the production continues to evolve and grow alongside its performers.
