March 2016 Events in State College, PA: Your Treasure is Within


As we bring down the curtain on our Creative Expressions series we focus this month on Drama. Juliette Binoche said, “I think acting is about forgetting yourself in order to give the best of yourself. It's passing through you more than you're creating it. You're not the flower, but the vase which holds the flower.”

Through dramatic performance we are able to forget about ourselves while becoming someone else, if only for a moment. We can be transported to another time, another place and another way of thinking. With all of our inhibitions set aside we focus this month on breaking out of our shells to share a bit of ourselves with wild abandon through our weekly drama clubs which will culminate in a fantastic performance or reading of dramatic prose. We invite you to join us in this enlightening journey of self-discovery through the magic of theater this month. We will also be attending theatrical performances around town, where we can let our inner critic loose. One last opportunity to become someone else is offered during our Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations, where everyone can be Irish for the day. Join us as we feast on traditional Irish foods such as corned beef and cabbage, soda bread, shepherd’s pie and more! Lastly, March would not be complete without honoring the dramatic achievements of others with our own Oscar Party. This month we invite you to let your inner star shine at Juniper Village.

Our fabulous March 2016 events in State College, PA at Juniper Village at Brookline Rehab and Skilled Care include our:

§  Penn State Hershey Lunch and Learn Colon Health with Erin Keen, RN, as she tackles the very important topics of colon health and colon cancer awareness, while we provide a light lunch on March 24th at 6:30 pm.

§  Crafting Your Composition Song Building with Ron Russell, who will lead us into the wonderful world of songwriting with his guitar accompaniment, as we will be tasked with creating lyrics to our very own Juniper song as musical-themed snacks will abound on March 18th at 2:30 pm.

§  Irish Dance Showcase for an Irish extravaganza as we feature the PSU Rince na Leon dancer and local bagpiper, Tracey Moriarty with Irish-themed snacks, including Guinness beer bread, Reuben dip, and traditional Irish themed beverages will be on tap on March 30th at 6:00 pm.
