Andy Bragen Theatre Projects

To The Playground

December 3-20, 2026

[Program tbd]

Runtime: 85 mins

An afternoon passes, a week, a summer

The days are long and the weather is hot. The world may be falling apart, but first there’s potty training. To The Playground is an ode to playgrounds and playground parents – a journey into the beauty, banality and anxieties of the longest shortest time.
