About Us
THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER AMAZING SEASON!
IT WAS A MUSICAL THEATER EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER
The rockin senior ensemble, 65-92 years young, presented an ALL NEW show, that was an eclectic blend of popular songs from contemporary artists combined with heartfelt, honest and raw emotion-filled personal stories from our senior cast. It truly was an ethereal experience that captivated and exhilarated!
Many, many thanks to those who joined us and to those who were with us in spirit. It was a show we will never forget. We honored our personal HEROES and lifted voices to celebrate the personal hero in all of us. Several of the cast members were able to pull off the ultimate surprise on their heroes who came to see a performance only to learn they too were part of the show! We met many new friends, reunited with some of our “#1 Fan Clubs” (LOVE THAT!), AND rocked the socks off nearly 3,000 audience members! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We can’t wait to do it again!

Alive & Kickin is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that features a talented ensemble of rockin senior performers ages 65-91 that entertain multi-generational audiences through popular contemporary music and personal stories. Each performance, whether a large, full-scale production, a corporate event or (our favorite) senior community gig, promises to surprise, move and inspire audiences of all ages.

Our mission is to give voice to seniors through personal story and popular song, empowering its members to entertain and enlighten multi-generational audiences. We hold auditions annually for the group and look for those who are a blend of talent, unique personalities and charisma. An open-mindedness is also a requirement as we explore contemporary genres of music ranging from rock & roll to pop to gospel and Motown as well as topics of all shapes and sizes!
We produce large scale full productions – inter-generational audience, contemporary style in large venues 1-2 times per year. We are also available for touring shows around the state of Minnesota and beyond.
Additionally, our outreach & education program reaches smaller audiences with the same powerful message of inspiration to senior care facilities and schools.

Annual Show June, 2016: “The 60’s”
Click the picture below to see footage from the psychedelic good time we had last year!
“The 60’s” featured music from the 60’s and cast personal stories of memories from the explosive decade as well as being 60 years young. This fantastic show completely SOLD OUT all 7 performances. Audiences were grooving in their seats, dancing in the aisles, tears in eyes, clapping along and smiling until their faces hurt.
Annual Show June, 2015: “Winds of Change”
Audience members said this was our best show yet! “NOT to be missed! “Completely inspiring”, “Surprising and moving”, “Touched my heart like nothing else I’ve seen”. It definitely was one for the books. Thank you to all who joined us for the magical moments on stage as well as in the audience. We will never forget the experience.
