“Life 101,” from the sandbox

“Now, now—don’t bonk Mary on the head with the Wiffle bat, don’t throw Legos at Teacher, don’t be afraid to share your peanut-butter sandwich and always remember to flush, then wash your hands.” Actually, the wisdom imparted in the play All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, loosely based on the hit pop-psychology book by Robert Fulghum, is a bit more trenchant than that; the play consists of a number of vignettes, each illuminating one of the great cosmic truths we learned before we absorbed irony into our worldview. 8 p.m. show Thursday-Saturday; 12:30 p.m. show Sunday. Through March 4 at Garbeau’s Dinner Theatre, 12401 Folsom Blvd. (at Hazel), Rancho Cordova. Tickets: (with dinner) $27 Thursday and Sunday; $32 Friday and Saturday; (show only) $15.
