Synopsis
From Dramatic Publishing :
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, and seven optional original songs. 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.
Note : We chose some alternate scenes and did the non-musical version of the show.
