About
Our mission is to create opportunities for people age 55 and up to participate in the performing arts, regardless of their previous experience. Through the stories we tell, we will honor the wisdom we gather as we age, and celebrate the experience of getting older.
Getting Involved with The Willow Tree Project
First up….beginning in February 2023 and continuing thru May, we have “Coffee Chat” the first and third Tuesday of each month! (See the flyer below). Like minded individuals will chat, explore opportunities, and work together exploring new collaborative ideas! Other opportunities that are coming include a “Carol Burnett” Troupe, a 55+ One Act Festival, including a Senior Expo!
Why The Willow Tree Project?
This program will benefit participants cognitively and socially through the application of an intentional curriculum that teaches skills in theatre arts. The teaching artists and leaders at Northern Starz hope that participants will feel welcome to be creative thinkers, try new activities, and leave each class with a sense of accomplishment.
Why Theatre?
The act of engaging in a socially-based activity that educates and challenges older adults is imperative in maintaining and potentially improving mood, memory, and overall wellness. While older adults anecdotally recognize these benefits, research supports it. Engaging in novel cognitive, physical, and social activities increases neural connections in the brain, connections that deteriorate with age. Participants are not sitting and listening to a lecture; instead, they are physically (within their limitations) and mentally engaging in each class to practice what is being taught.

Additional Information
This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.
Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
