ImagePARK PLAY is the first production of the Kitchen’s 2009-10 Family Fare season. It runs for two weekends, six performances only: September 19, 20, 26 & 27, with performances on Saturdays at 1pm & 3pm and Sundays at 1pm.

Hayley is a 9-year-old girl who loves her neighborhood park. Not only does it have a great playground with a swing that’s perfect for flying high and dreaming, but it also gives her the opportunity to observe people; Hayley is a budding anthropologist, and the children, parents, and grandparents at the park make fascinating research subjects. Funny and sweet, with rousing musical numbers, this show is sure to appeal to park lovers of all ages.

PARK PLAY was written by four collaborators: Kitchen Theatre Artistic Director Rachel Lampert and Family Fare Producer Lesley Greene, recent Ithaca College music department grad Thomas J. Peters, and Ithaca High School senior Nathan Hilgartner. Arrangements are by Larry Pressgrove, music director for Broadway’s title of show and composer/collaborator with Rachel Lampert on TONY & THE SOPRANO and BED NO BREAKFAST.

Bringing the show to life is a dynamic cast. Ten-year-old Erin Hilgartner plays Hayley.   She is joined by college actors Melanie Beck, Nefertiti Bridges, Ace Heckathorn, Katie Henly, and Katie Wallace, and the multi-talented Stephen Nunley. Together they play multiple roles as the parents, grandparents and children Hayley meets in the park.   It is recommended for ages 4 & up.
