CAST AND CREW

DIRECTOR'S NOTE

I am so glad that you have chosen to join us for our winter production of “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.” Based on Robert Fulghum’s best selling books, the show takes a funny, insightful and heartwarming look at what is profound in everyday life. This tightly woven stage adaptation is an evening of theatrical storytelling that utilizes a revue format, with monologues, dialogues and multiple voice narration. In this cautious time during a pandemic and social distancing, it seems like there is no better time for such stories to remind of us of what really are the most important aspects of life: ALL THE LESSONS WE LEARNED AS CHILDREN AND HOW RELEVANT THEY STILL ARE IN OUR LIVES!

On stage you will see many delightful stories that 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 motorcycle mirror from WWII. These stories and the many others are about all of us and celebrate our very existence, from the whimsy of childhood to the wisdom of old age... and let's be honest, can't we all use a bit of whimsy in our lives right now?

I want to say how proud I am of this talented cast. They have worked through 3 soft closures, quarantines, worn masks at every rehearsal, and agreed to all be Covid-Tested just so they could push forth and tell these stories. They have a passion and a drive that is remarkable. As I write this, I am saddened that a couple of our cast will not be at the performances due to a quarantine restriction, but they are no less part of our cast that the ones performing in person. We LOVE them and wish them all the best

I want to thank our team, Mrs. Poll, and our administration for everyone's hard work this year. THINGS WILL GET BETTER! I want to thank my student teacher, Mr. Austin, who has stepped in and worked hard with this cast and his willingness and his enthusiasm for this profession makes me so eager to see what the future holds for him. He is going to make a great teacher.

THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING
Mark Daniels
