Kindergarten takes a funny, insightful and heartwarming look at what is profound in everyday life. This tightly woven stage adaptation has earned standing ovations at theatres from Prague to Singapore to L.A. to D.C.—including Ford's Theatre, Actors Theatre of Louisville and Missouri Repertory Theatre. It is an evening of theatrical storytelling that utilizes a revue format, with monologues, dialogues, and multiple voice narration. It can be performed as a play or as a musical with up to seven original songs. Both versions are enhanced through the use of live piano underscoring, which provides fluidity, charm and emotional texture. The many 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 11,000 feet over Los Angeles…in an aluminum lawn chair lifted by 45 helium-filled surplus weather balloons; a "mother of the bride" who brilliantly orchestrates the 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 are about all of us and celebrate our very existence, from the whimsy of childhood to the wisdom of old age. "Kindergarten" is a sure hit for almost any theatre, including professional, community, church and high school groups. The musical can be performed with solo piano or optional five-piece orchestration.
