Troupers

What’s the craziest career choice anyone can make and spend over 60 years pursuing that path? Saratoga Ballantine and Dea Lawrence’s documentary Troupers profiles actors over 80 in Hollywood giving new meaning to the phrase, “hang in there.” Troupers takes a humorous look at how this fearless group survived parental disapproval, the black list, poverty, divorce, rejection, disappointment, depression, bad acting coaches, critics, nasty casting directors, and decades of auditions to do what they wanted to do: Act.
