Based on Robert Fulghum’s best-selling books, Kindergarten takes a funny, insightful, heartwarming look at what is
profound in everyday life. This tightly woven adaptation has earned standing ovations from Singapore to Prague— from L.A.
to D.C. It’s an evening of theatrical storytelling in revue format, with monologues, dialogues, and multiple voice narration,
enhanced through the use of live piano underscoring, which provides fluidity, charm and emotional texture. The delightful
stories feature colorful characters such as: a shy little boy who insists on playing the “pig” in his class production of Cinderella
and steals the show; a man whose dream of flying carries him high over Los Angeles...in a lawn chair buoyed by surplus
weather balloons; a “mother of the bride” who’s staged a perfect wedding—until the bowling ball of fate rolls down the aisle;
and a modern-day Greek philosopher who finds the meaning of life in a piece of broken mirror from World War II. These
stories celebrate our very existence, from the whimsy of childhood to the wisdom of old age.
