The Storybridge Program was developed in 1993 by Stagebridge, the oldest senior theater company in the nation. The program uses storytelling as a tool for improving students' language arts skills and bringing elders and youth together. "Language development and performing arts are essential elements to the curriculum taught at the elementary school level," said Rose Woo, teacher, Bella Vista Elementary School in Oakland. "The programs that they offer schools are invaluable." Stagebridge recently completed a three-year implementation grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Arts in Education Model Development & Dissemination Program. The results of a two-year independent evaluation of the program by 3D Group were released in 2007. The 3D Group evaluation concluded that "Storybridge students significantly outperformed control students in three areas of listening comprehension." After participating in the program, students were able to recall more elements of a story when retelling it, understood the structure of a story and could recall richer details, the report stated. "It's something that children will remember for the rest of their lives," said Deitra Atkins, principal, Glenview Elementary School in Oakland.

From its modest beginning in 1978, Stagebridge has successfully bridged the age span to become a model community organization committed to dispelling the notion of older adults as obsolete, non-contributing members of society. The company demonstrates the ways in which seniors can improve and enrich our culture by using theatre to bridge the generations. Stagebridge is the nation's leading creator of senior storytelling and theater, reaching intergenerational audiences through performance and instruction. Stagebridge currently has four overlapping program areas. They are: Public Performance Season, which presents one or two new plays a year for public audiences that are mostly comprised of families, seniors, and children; Storybridge Schools Program, which brings intergenerational theatre, oral history, and storytelling by older adults to elementary school children in the San Francisco Bay Area; Seniors Reaching Out brings performances of plays and music, singing, acting, improvisation and storytelling workshops to approximately 10,000 seniors annually; Healthy Aging, a program that employs the arts to educate healthcare professionals about older people resulting in better treatment; and, the Center for Creative Aging -- West, which is a network of artists and organizations working with older adults that trains, produces, and advocates for creative aging programs. The company consists of over 150 actors, storytellers and students who range in age from 50 -- 100 (average age 70). During the 2006-07 season their performances opened the National Conference on Creativity and Aging in New Jersey, brought elder storytellers sharing their "Civil Rights Tales" to schools and community groups and held its first annual Performing Arts Camp for Adults 50+.
