Welcome to Reminiscence Theatre!!!!

Reminiscence Theatre—is theatrical performances by seniors based on their reminiscences (memories).

Would you like to tell some stories with us? Use our Blog to tell us your story in 300 words or less. Keep it simple—Guidelines: - use a story from your childhood or early life that you think teaches a lesson, produces laughter, or is just plain interesting. Let it be something that you remember and something you think is a good way to connect with youngsters. Nice if it is a true story, but not necessary—hyperbole is acceptable! We just might select your story to act out or to tell during a Double Nickels Theatre performance.

There was a group of us kids from Sydenham Street – all approximately the same age, give or take a few years – that always got into mischief together. Where you saw one, the others weren’t far behind.

In North Philadelphia, where we used to live on Sydenham Street, there was a grave yard that had been purchased along with several blocks of other condemned buildings by Temple University during their expansion years. We kids used to play in the condemned houses being torn down and in the graveyard that was being dug up – even though we weren’t supposed to be any where near that property!
