WAUKESHA – Under the direction of Neil Gregersen, Waukesha, the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha Lunt-Fontanne Ensemble will do performances of All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten on Fridays and Saturdays, November 5, 6, 12, and 13, at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, November 7, at 2:00 p.m. They will be on the stage at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, located in the Fine Arts Center on campus at 1500 N. University Dr., Waukesha.
Tickets are available by stopping by the ticket office, which opens an hour before each performance, or by phoning (262) 521-5212. All seating is general admission. Tickets prices are $8 for adults, $7 for senior citizens (62+) and students, $4 for children 12 and under; and free for UW-Waukesha students with an ID.
Based on the books by Robert Fulghum, the play was adapted by Ernest Zulia, with music by David Caldwell, and dramatizes incidents in people’s lives that illustrate “the Kindergarten Code.”
The Louisville (KY) Courier Journal called it “a gentle musical that avoids being a pretentious homily on the meaning of life.” Rather, this collection of stories captures the exuberance and imagination of children, reminding grown-ups of the wonder of youth and the wisdom of using similar wide-eyed vision to understand and cope with more complex problems as they occur. Speaking to the meaning of life and mystery of death, it treats both with light-hearted reverence.
UW-Waukesha has the largest enrollment among the 13 freshman-sophomore UW Colleges campuses. For information about programs, admission, or financial aid, contact the Student Services office at (262) 521-5200 or visit the Web at waukesha.uwc.edu.
