This Chair Rocks

"This Chair Rocks: How Ageism Warps Our View of Long Life" by Ashton Applewhite is a talk and conversation about why the more you know about old age the better it looks — and why so few people know it.

Think you know what lies ahead? That depression, diapers and dementia lurk? Think again. Part monologue, part consciousness-raiser, "This Chair Rocks" dispels myth after myth about late life and exposes the ageism that underlies all the hand-wringing. The talk is as funny as it is fierce, and it just might change the way you envision the rest of your life. Ashton Applewhite is the voice of Yo, Is This Ageist and has been writing about aging and ageism since 2007 at This Chair Rocks.

No RSVP required. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Seats available until filled.
