A playground at a park, late in the afternoon. There is a bench downstage center.  There is an ice cream counter located upstage right. There is a “Hopscotch” game pattern grid front downstage center on the floor in front of the bench, but it is not imperative that the audience sees the grid. It’s only important for the actors to work with it. The remainder of the playground set may be as elaborate or as simple as the director or set designer wishes.

Kevin T. Baldwin has been teaching theatrical basics to students in the Worcester (MA) area for over twelve years. Prior to moving to Worcester, he ran drama workshops at the Framingham Civic League under the name "MetroWest Theatre Collaborative". Kevin has directed many shows in community theatre and in schools. His students, ranging in age from 5 to 19 years old, perform in several productions throughout the year.

The emphasis centers on creating, developing and maintaining a character on stage. Kevin's written a book on the subject entitled A Magnificent Chaos, which is available at www.amagnificentchaos.com. In 2004, Kevin premiered his original musical Hot Rod Hot Dogs, which features 15 rare compositions by the famous sixties song-writing team of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart (who wrote such classics as "Last Train To Clarksville" and "Come A Little Bit Closer"). Kevin is working with Bobby Hart on Sunshine Pop, another musical which tells the story of the Boyce & Hart and how they wrote some of their classic sixties songs. Kevin also has a screenplay in the works about the mysterious death of actress Carol Wayne.
