Synopsis: Based on Robert Fulghum’s best selling books, Kindergarten takes a funny, insightful heartwarming look at what is profound in everyday life. 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 law 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.

**Cast do NOT need to be trained singers, but must be comfortable attempting to sing the title song as a group. They don’t need to be good—think a Kindergarten class singing at a concert. Reciting to music is acceptable.**
