"My dad was a wheat farmer in southwest Kansas. I was born at home by a country doctor. We were poor but I didn’t know it because everyone else was, too. It was a hard life, but I grew up a happy, happy child,” Ruthie Tripet; age 85.

Join the Front Range Theatre Company and Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts as they present “The Wisdom Within These Walls.” Listen to wisdom from oral histories of local seniors that capture the essence of our human condition. Based on interviews by the Front Range Theatre Company, these stories have been beautifully rendered into a reader’s theatre production and accompanied by live, old-time bluegrass music. This very special production honors our elders and provides moving, inspiring, sometimes funny and always touching stories that illustrate what one learns from 70, 80 and 90+ years of living.

Wisdom Within These Walls benefits Silver Key Senior services and The Castle Rock Senior Center. We ask that all attendees bring a non-perishable food item for the Silver Key food pantry.

Ruthie's wisdom continues: “… the most beautiful dress my mom made for was out of a flour sack. It had a beautiful flower print on it. I don’t know where she got them, but the buttons were made out of walnut shells. They were shiny and absolutely beautiful...”

The Front Range Theatre Company is a nonprofit organization that offers high-quality live theatre by and for adults, seniors and youths, as well as summer camps for youths between the ages of 10-18.
