Did you learn everything you need to know in kindergarten? This weekend will give you the answer. And much more.
“All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” (Thursday-Sunday)
The play will feature short stories and vignettes on “everyday life about everyday people” in a PG-13 narrative, Dog Story Theater says. The scenes and monologues will “make you think, make you laugh, possibly make you cry and maybe even help you remember old times.”
The performances by The University Wits will be April 25-28 at various times at Dog Story Theater downtown. Tickets are online. Photo via fb.com.
