PLAYGROUND




 Remember your first love, the school dance, your annoying little sister? Remember the school bully, your embarassing mother, and this year's best friend? Some things never change. Ask Alex, she's living through it all - right now. Featuring a cast of characters we all grew up with, "Playground" unfolds through a series of diary entries, songs and daydreams that take us on a high speed romp inside the hearts and minds of a young girl and her friends as they learn about life, love and friendship. Set against that great backdrop of childhood - the playground - this contemporary, hip hop, musical comedy features an eclectic, sequenced score that includes everything from the do wop, rap and blues to ballads, techno and nursery rhymes.
