Barrowland Ballet presents "Bunty & Doris", a performance that brings together participants of diverse ages and styles to perform classical themes through humor. The performance included conversations with the artistic director about the themes, a piece called "The River", and contributions from participants of varying backgrounds. Audience members and participants enjoyed the success of using humor to challenge perceptions of older people, and participants felt they gained new friends through the experience of working together.
