    • Welcome to the Reminiscence Theatre Archive of Pam Schweitzer

    This unique archive is a complete record of the Reminiscence Theatre productions created between 1983 and 2005, during which time Pam Schweitzer was Founder and Artistic Director of Age Exchange Theatre Trust. It covers professional shows, shows by older people, inter-generational shows and it includes local, national and international projects. The archive, housed at the University of Greenwich since 2012, contains the memories of the elderly people involved and also documents how those memories were transformed into performances. Find out more about us or get in touch.
