ENCHANTED APRIL

November 10-12, 15-19, 2005

Based on the novel by Elizabeth von Arnim, Enchanted April, by Matthew Barber tells the tale of two frustrated London housewives who decide to rent a villa in Italy for a holiday away from their bleak marriages, they recruit two very different English women to share the cost and the experience.  There, among the wisteria blossoms and Mediterranean sunshine, all four bloom again - rediscovering themselves in ways that they - and we - could never have expected.

ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN
November 11 - 19, 2005

Adapted by Ernest Zulia and David Caldwell, and based on Robert Fulghum’s best-selling books (over 15 million copies in 96 countries), Kindergarten 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 musical revue format, with monologues, dialogues and multiple voice narration.  These stories are about all of us and celebrate our very existence, from the whimsy of childhood to the wisdom of old age.  Kindergarten has earned standing ovations worldwide. This student-directed show officially opened the drama lab performance space in the Performing Arts Center on the Snowflake/Taylor campus.  

Performances for this show were held November 11th through 19th.
