Six actors will try to remind audiences what matters most in life by illustrating what they learned in kindergarten while honoring the memory of a beloved professor.

The cast and crew said they hope to honor the memory of UNC professor and PlayMakers Repertory Company’s Kenneth Strong, who died Jan. 12 after a long battle with cancer.

The production, “All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten,” is sponsored by Carolina Cancer Focus and based on the book by Robert Fulghum. All proceeds from the play go directly to the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center Fund for Brain Tumor Research.
