Everybody remembers their first kiss, Mary Shea said as she took the stage at the South Bronx’s Pregones / Puerto Rican Traveling Theater.
“I remember my first girdle,” she said. The audience roared.
Shea was performing last Wednesday at the Bronx’s borough regionals for the annual Talent Is Timeless competition — a kind of "America's Got Talent" for city seniors. The borough competitions lead into a grand finale for the showcase at Washington Heights’ United Palace Theater on Oct. 16. It will be emceed by actress Jackie Hoffman, a veteran of Chicago’s Second City, the aunt in 2004’s “Garden State” and the crotchety neighbor Uma Heller on “Only Murders in the Building.”
The competition starts on the community level, at Older Adult Centers — Shea represented the Riverdale OAC. Winners
