The Playground was founded in 1997 by its original member companies. http www.the playground.com ?page about The Playground theater exists as a non profit co op, governed by its member companies, or teams. Located at 3209 N. Halsted Street, The Playground features performances every night of the week at 8pm. Other shows at other times also regularly occur. From time to time the theater holds auditions for its signature Incubator Program, in which applicants are judged on their skills at scene based improvised comedy. Those who pass are assembled into Incubator Teams with a certain guaranteed number of shows on The Playground s stage. The newly hatched teams are then free to govern their own fates, hire their own coaches, and generally pursue a career as an improv ensemble. Some Incubator teams eventually wind up applying for membership status with the theater. http www.the playground.com ?page programs&PHPSESSID 0ccb0a13f32947b5bee1576814404f68 See also Portal Theatre Improvisational theatre List of improvisational theatre companies External links http www.the playground.com The Playground s web site coord missing Illinois DEFAULTSORT Playground, The Category Improvisational theatre Category Theatres in Chicago, Illinois Category Comedy clubs in the United States comedy stub ... more details

distinguish Playground song Multiple issues citations missing October 2007 restructure October 2007 original research October 2007 A playground song is a Children s song song sung by children , usually on a playground or other children s gathering place. Most such songs are traditional in nature and are passed, with constantly evolving regional variations, down the generations. They have been studied for over a century, with H.C Bolton publishing a paper on The counting out rhymes of children in New York in 1888. Playground songs are distinct from nursery rhymes in that they are sung by groups of children together in spontaneous play, rather than by parents or teachers to children. Playground songs lack the characters common in nursery rhymes e.g. Mary had a little lamb Mary , Georgie Porgie , Jack and Jill song Jack & Jill , and Humpty Dumpty and often involve counting games or role playing. They are distinct from Skipping rope skipping or hopscotch rhymes which have a rhythm and logic of their own.
