All the World’s a Stage, or Is It?


Activities - Adults 55+ / Thompson Park Activity Center WSP / Lifelong Learning -
Adult 55+ Sept 25-Aug 26

In this friendly, discussion-based course for seniors, retired sociologist Scott Chazdon guides you through key chapters of Erving Goffman’s classic The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life. Using the metaphor of theater, Goffman explores how we manage impressions, define situations, and reveal ourselves differently in public and private. With monthly readings and guiding questions, we’ll reflect together on how these mid-20th century ideas still shape our social lives today—even in a post-social media world.
