Looking to add some fun and culture to your schedule? The Senior Center has a lineup of events this spring that are perfect for social butterflies and art lovers alike. If sharpening your mind is what you're after, why not challenge fellow community members to a game of Scrabble, pinochle, or chess? Itching to show off your savvy style on camera? Get a taste of fame and maybe meet TV personality Jason Matheson by attending a live recording of "The Jason Show" at Fox 9 Studio.
For those ready to catch some daytime entertainment, the Day Trippers Theatre is preparing to serve up laughs with their latest play, 'Til Beth Do Us Part'. As outlined in a release served up by the Senior Center, the play promises a comedic look at the chaos sparked by hiring an overzealous assistant. And let's not forget the art enthusiasts; an excursion to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts offers a feast for the eyes with "Art in Bloom," where florists and artists dazzle with their floral interpretations of classic artworks.
Attendees can expect more than just visual and theatrical stimulation; culinary delights are also on the menu. "The Jason Show" goers can mingle over lunch at a local restaurant after the taping, while theatre fans can savor a pre-show meal featuring pulled pork and its accompaniments, or opt for the vegetarian-friendly fettuccini alfredo. Art lovers on the MIA trip will indulge in baked chicken with mashed potatoes, ensuring that the experience pleases all senses. While participation requires prior registration, with deadlines looming as soon as March 18 for "Art in Bloom," securing a spot is just a phone call away.
Events are generally hosted at the Senior Center unless stated otherwise and spaces can fill up quickly; interested parties are encouraged to register early to avoid disappointment. Additional details, including registration codes and costs, are available through the Senior Center's Winter 2024 newsletter and the city's comprehensive online calendar. So whether you're a cardsharp, a culture vulture, or a foodie, the city of Eden Prairie's Senior Center has your spring social calendar covered.
