First Run Theater Brings Childhood Back With THE PLAYING GROUND 5/15-5/24

Three 10-year-olds, - Lindsey, Jimmy, and Reagan - meet regularly during recess on a little-used portion of the school ground. All are from different backgrounds and only Reagan is one of the "Cool" kids. They become friends and learn lessons from each other in tolerance, friendship, growing up, and the diverse meaning of family. Three actors portray nine roles in this play about being kids and parents.
