Choosing to stay in your home as you age can be a big decision. Creating and maintaining a safe environment can be a key to keeping you in your home. There are small changes you can make to keep you safe, make it easier to move and prevent falls. Welcome Home Wellness and Birdwatch will walk Penn’s Village participants through multiple spaces in a home to discuss finding hazards and potential solutions for them. Each participant will leave with a home checklist to help review the safety of their own home.

The program draws on the principles of formal martial arts practice and contact improvisation to teach participants safe falling techniques and ways to get off the floor—alone and with a partner. Mastering ukemi—the Japanese term for “falling technique”—can enhance balance, confidence, and overall mobility, while helping participants feel more in control of everyday movements such as walking, stair-climbing, and recovering from a trip or loss of balance.

Penn’s Village Players return with a live dramatic read.

This beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940s radio broadcast. With the help of an ensemble that brings a few dozen characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds as he considers ending his life one fateful Christmas Eve.

A well-loved tale told with style, charm, and a heart so big it could burst the rib cage of the harshest Grinch…A fresh theatrical context that creates just the right kind of retro warmth. If you cry every time you see the movie, you’ll be blubbering away right on cue…Guaranteed.



The Penn’s Village Players are a troupe of actors specializing in dramatic reads.

After the loss of a spouse or partner or during the various chapters of solo aging, it’s common to feel uncertain about your finances. Even simple questions like “Do I have enough?” or “Where do I begin?” can feel overwhelming when you‘re navigating unfamiliar territory.

Learn how to make happy decisions about what to let go of and ways to organize the rest. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll have fun while setting individual goals for decluttering and receiving specific strategies to meet them.

This group may be of particular interest to Penn’s Village women who have relied on a partner to manage personal finances and are curious about gaining expertise and competence in this space.
