William Woods University student Chandler Bramstadt plays the narrator to the real-life love story of Charles Boyer, a widowed Hollywood actor who takes his own life just after his wife's death, in the student-directed production of "All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten."
Unlike many famous couples, the two remained faithful until their deaths. The narrator, played by Bramstadt, talked about how he feels the same love for his wife that Boyer felt for his. "...It is really possible to love someone that much," the Narrator says. The scene is co-director T.J. Green's favorite.
"The story of Charles Boyer touches me at a deep level of love and life," he said. The entire play is a strand of scenes connected through one theme - life lessons. The first scene takes place in a kindergarten class and depicts the attitudes of humans to activities like singing and dancing as they progress through life - childhood, young adulthood and middle aged.
The characters shy away from speaking up and showing off as they grow older, and one character asks the question: "Whatever happened to, "Yes, of course I can'"? "All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" is a production of William Woods' Jester Organization and takes place 7: 30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday in Dulany Auditorium.
