At Acorn Theatre the bulk of our patrons are senior citizens and once they go for the big bus ride in the sky, a new breed of senior citizens will be born, but they are of the baby boomers age group, what will apeal to them? Then after them are the wild child seniors of the seventies- should we provide aome good drugs instead of a good cup of tea. Are you getting my drift.From Sharon Eugene>
