THE PEOPLE GARDEN is a whimsical yet emotionally stirring musical about a day in the life of a kindergarten class. A young substitute teacher has reluctantly agreed to temporarily take over the class, although she thinks she would rather be teaching older children than "baby sitting: 5-year olds. What follows is a moral-filled musical journey through some very important "life lessons" that resonate deeply for people of all ages. The new teacher is forced to deal with such basic, yet complex issues as lying, sharing, getting along with each other, and even coping with the loss of a loved one.

By the end of the day, she has found a true sense of purpose and decides to stay...as the kids put it..."FOREVER!"
_____________________________________________

In Summer 2000, "The People Garden" hit the SPX stage with children starring as the kindergarteners. Ten years later, they're throwing in a little twist - this time, young adults are channeling their inner 5 year old and traveling back in time to a world of fingerpainting, naptime, and fun! Come check out this stirring musical that is perfect for the entire family!

Based on Robert Fulghum's 1980's best seller, ''All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.''
