OLLI Member Bonus: Enrich Your Life with Humor! (Drake Hall)
OSHR 1210Enjoy this complimentary OLLI Bonus Presentation with new instructor Kate Reiter. She draws on her experience as an NYC comedian and Yale School of Drama graduate to offer insight into how humor provides a way for everyone to reframe even life's most challenging experiences. Citing humor's physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits, Kate Reiter hopes participants will leave with a lighter step, a more hopeful heart, and a fresh way of viewing life.
Kate Lyn Reiter is an MFA graduate of the Yale School of Drama. She has appeared on Comedy Central, Fox Network, and numerous New York City Comedy Club stages. She has been awarded an NYC Backstage Bistro Award for Comedy Performance and was nominated for the Manhattan Association of Cabarets' MAC Award. Her acting credits include performing with Robin Williams and John Lithgow in the film, The World According to Garp.
Her comedy workshops have been presented for over 15 years in conjunction with Centenary Stage Company, Chester Theatre Company, Warren County Cultural & Heritage Foundation, New Jersey Teen Arts, and the Roxbury Alliance for Arts Council. She has also taught Theatre and English at Warren County Community Theatre and Centenary College.
Laughter, Reiter believes, is a way for all people to reframe even life's most challenging experiences and release themselves from what would otherwise be a ponderous road of suffering. Humor is medicine—both spiritual and physical. This workshop is for all people.
