OLLI @ Furman gives senior adults more than just something to do. You may begin by attending Dr. Crabtree's Shakespeare course, which leads to a Pen and Ink class, play bridge on Wednesday afternoon and then take a tour on Friday, and along the way you realize that learning never retires and you've never felt better or so engaged. In addition to the many courses that are offered during the academic year, various committees will plan special programs that include social events, discussion groups, special interest groups, travel, and service opportunities. These programs are planned around your interests and with your participation, so please let us know what types of programs you want offered. Don't hesitate to ask questions, share your life experiences, get involved with a committee and take that math class you avoided when you were a teen. The more involved you become, the richer and fuller OLLI @ Furman becomes, and the richer and fuller your life becomes.

Mr. Osher just celebrated his 99th birthday and is a prime example of the benefits of lifelong learning.

Introducing the first SeasonArt Series exhibit of our 2026-2027 season!

When you join us for HERE THERE ARE BLUEBERRIES, the experience begins the moment you step into the lobby. We are incredibly proud to present “Here There is Hope,” a striking photography exhibit created in direct response to and inspired by the themes of the production.

This curated gallery features powerful works by four brilliant, local photographers: Linda Hosek, Morley Jensen, Bruce Schlein, and Alan Weinberg.

The SeasonArt Series bridges the dramatic and visual arts to deepen your experience with the stories on our mainstage. Arrive early to immerse yourself in their lens before the show begins. Catch both the exhibit and the production running from September 18th – October 4th. Secure your tickets for HERE THERE ARE BLUEBERRIES at the link in our bio!

Performances: September 18 – October 4 | Tickets: Link in bio | 864.235.6948 | warehousetheatre.com
