NO ROOM FOR A PICTURE ON THE BLANK WALL takes a hard and compassionate look at a subject that can be difficult and frightening to talk about: Alzheimer’s disease. Roughly 1 in 9 Americans over the age of 65 are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and the number goes up as age increases. It is a completely and irrevocably life altering diagnosis both for the person diagnosed as well as their loved ones. This week we sit down with the cast of NO ROOM and talk about the show, its impact on each of the cast and why it’s important to put light on experiences like this.   Tickets: lubbockcommunitytheatre.org Email us at lctpodcast@lubbockcommunitytheatre.org   MUSIC:  Bonus Points - Pizza and Video Games  Link: https://soundcloud.com/bonuspoints/pizza-and-video-games
