Get me to a Subway

My nephew is an actor. A year ago, he and 7 other actors/writers wrote segments/scenes to a play whose premise was roughly this:

People get on a subway at Union Station in NYC, and the subway breaks down. Stuck on the Subway, they tell their stories, I guess to pass the time. Some were hysterical, some were thought provoking some were sad, but none was written by anyone over 35.

My question here is: Don’t people over 35 ride the subway? Or is the assumption here that people over 35 just don’t have anything worth saying?

The play was VERY good, but I have to say I was a bit annoyed.
I have things to say! I have stories, and some of them are quite funny. I don’t think we stop getting provocative or intelligent or humorous when we reach a certain age. Andy Rooney is still funny. So why wasn’t my demographic on that subway? Believe me, I know we aren’t walking and we can’t afford a cab; we’re on that subway! The director tried very hard to reach every other demographic: White, Hispanic, Black, Gay … but not “old.”

Does youth think it has a corner on creativity? You don't! We’ve got more money than most under 30 and if you want us to support your play, you’d better have at least one token AARP member. Maybe he/she could die early on in the play, and they could just slide that character out the door, or ignore her (which would be most appropriate). But come on, we have a weath of experience to draw from. Let us ride the subway!
