Insight Colab Theatre presents 4000 Miles

INSIGHT COLAB THEATREpresents4000 MilesbyAmy HerzogDirected by Samantha Saunders July 25 August 4, 2024 Insight Colab Theatre presents 4000 Miles July 25 through August 4, at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St, Aurora, CO 80010. Performances are Thursday, July 25; Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 p.m.   Tickets are $25 - $35 and available at https://insightcolab.square.site/. Student discount information on the site. For more information call 303-437-8917. After suffering a major loss while on a cross-country bike trip, a 21-year-old grandson seeks solace from his feisty 91-year-old grandfather in his West Village apartment. Over the course of a single month, these unlikely roommates infuriate, bewilder, and ultimately reach each other. 4000 Miles looks at how two outsiders find their way in today's world. Director Samantha Saunders states, The all-Asian casting stays in line with our mission of giving opportunities to an under represented demographic and it aligns with the roots of the theatre company. We wanted to explore nontraditional casting for the play and the grandfather/grandson relationship will still discover the generational struggles the play dives into. She went on to say, This play is still different in the sense that it explores the struggle of the old world and the new world coming together and how that can be overcome. I dont believe it is the gender of the family member that is important in this casting but rather the colliding of different life experiences and coming together as a family despite those differences. Amy Herzogs 4000 Miles won the 2012 Obie Award for Best New American Play and was a finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Her play Mary Jane, won the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play. She was a finalist for the 20122013 and 20162017 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. Herzog was also nominated for a 2023 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play for her adaptation of Ibsen's A Doll's House. Newly rebranded, Insight Colab Theatre was previously known as Theatre Esprit Asia (TEA). TEA, founded in 2012, was Southwest Denvers first and only pan Asian American theatre company. Insight Colab Theatre features plays with non-traditional, diverse casting while creating acting workshops to train the new generation of diverse actors along with a writers series to explore identity, race and privilege. https://www.insightcolab.org Insight Colab Theatre4000 MilesA compassionate story of family, love and healing.July 25 Aug 4Thurs., July 25 @ 7:30 p.m.Fri/Sat at 7:30 p.m. and Sat/Sun at 2:00 p.m.$25 - $35https://www.insightcolab.orgFor more information call 303-437-8917.Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St, Aurora, CO 80010

Estate Planning – The Ultimate Protection Against Financial Exploitation

Exploitation of older people is sadly common and financial exploitation is very damaging to its victims. According to the National Council on Ageing it costs victims as much as $36.5 billion per year. It can also be difficult to tackle because financial elder abuse is often done by those the victim trusts.However, one of the most powerful ways to fight against it and pre-empt it is thorough estate planning. Many people think about estate planning as something that only matters after you are dead, but in fact, it can also be useful to safeguard you while youre still alive.A WillWhat it is: A Will lays out what you want to happen with regards to property and assets after you die. If you dont have one, your wishes might not be honored. Your will covers those assets that are titled in your name at your death and for which there is not already a designated beneficiary. Some assets are not affected by your will, and they include: bank accounts, retirement plans such as a 401(k) or IRA, life insurance, or any other asset for which there is already a named beneficiary. However, a Will only come into play once youve passed away, so the Powers of Attorney (below) are the most important documents while youre still alive.How it helps against exploitation: During the process of writing a will, we uncover who owns what and can ensure that the right assets go to the right people when you die. This reduces the opportunity for confusion and financial abuse down the line and no assets get forgotten.Durable Financial Power of AttorneyWhat it is: A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows someone else (an agent) to act on your (the principals) behalf. A financial Power of Attorney pertains solely to managing your financial affairs. This could include paying your taxes, managing your bank accounts and property, or paying your bills. A durable Power of Attorney contains a durable clause that maintains the Power of Attorney after you become incapacitated. In Colorado, the Uniform Durable Power of Attorney Act (UPOA), presumes that unless stated, a power of attorney is durable in nature and will continue if the principal becomes incapacitated.How it helps against exploitation: A Power of Attorney means that only a trusted person can look after your financial accounts, manage legal matters, and even business interests. Having a Power of Attorney in place means that the right people can make decisions on your behalf, and there is less risk of someone trying to take advantage of you.Being the agent for a Power of Attorney is a serious matter, with legal implications for the agent. Part of this responsibility is ensuring that the principal of the Power of Attorney is well looked-after. Unfortunately, sometimes people do abuse the power of the Power of Attorney and so choosing the right person is critical.

I Love Someone with Dementia, So Why Am I Losing MY Mind?  

If you have, or suspect you have a loved one with dementia, you probably know the feeling. You feel like you are losing your mind, or certainly your peace of mind. I want to affirm those feelings, as well as validate those who have suspicions about a loved one that may have dementia. You're not judging someone if you suspect they have dementia or any other recognized condition or inability that is beginning to take its toll on you, or certainly them. You're actually taking the first step in helping them and the whole family.My own mother has had dementia for over 11 years. It's hard to say exactly when it started. But it certainly became noticeable when my dad passed away 11 years ago. Given that he was suffering from cancer, the focus at the time was understandably on him. But once he passed, it was clear that my mom had classic signs of dementia. The only problem was, neither me nor my siblings saw it clearly before my dad's passing. Like most siblings, we had our own things to deal with. I was living in another state. And my older siblings in Nebraska had their own set of issues with which they were dealing. I wish we had known and acted sooner.I joined Oasis Senior Advisors as a result of having placed my own mother in a memory care community through Oasis in Lincoln, Nebraska. I dont know what our family would have done had it not been for the reassuring guidance and counsel of Beth Friesen, our Oasis Senior Advisor. Beth has since written a great practical guide that Id like to offer free and without obligation to anyone who is dealing with loved ones with dementia. Just send me an email.If youre dealing with a loved one with dementia or any condition that is taking a toll on you, I encourage you to reach out for support and guidance to a certified senior advisor. Don't walk this journey alone.Editor's Note: This article was submitted by Randy Bulow, CSA, the owner of Oasis Senior Advisors, North Metro Denver.

Honoring Legacy: Preserving Memories and Stories in Senior Care

In the tender embrace of senior care, there exists a treasure trove of memories and stories waiting to be unveiled. Each elderly resident carries within them a unique legacy, a tapestry woven with the threads of experiences, trials, and triumphs. Preserving these narratives isn't just an act of cherishing the past; it's a profound way of honoring the rich tapestry of a person's life. In senior care facilities around the world, dedicated professionals and compassionate caregivers recognize the importance of these stories. They understand that beyond the wrinkles and graying hair, there lies a reservoir of wisdom and history that deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated.By actively engaging in reminiscence therapy, storytelling sessions, and intergenerational activities, senior care communities are not just providing entertainment; they are weaving a web of connections between generations. These interactions bridge the gap between the elderly and the young, allowing a seamless flow of knowledge and understanding. Preserving memories isnt just about collecting tales of the past; its about fostering a sense of belonging, reducing feelings of isolation, and nurturing emotional well-being. Through carefully crafted activities, seniors are encouraged to share their life stories, passing down traditions, values, and life lessons to the younger generation. In doing so, we create a vibrant tapestry of shared experiences that enrich the lives of everyone involved. In senior care, honoring legacy isnt just a duty; it's a heartfelt celebration of the human spirit, reminding us all that every life, regardless of age, is a story worth telling and preserving.
