Playhouse on Park's Announces 'My Favorite Kindergarten Teacher' Contest Winner

The letters have been read, the votes tallied, and Playhouse on Park today announced the winner of its "My Favorite Kindergarten Contest."

In honor of its upcoming musical, "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten", Playhouse on Park held a special contest asking parents, students, friends, and colleagues alike to nominate the kindergarten teachers in their lives for the title of "My Favorite Kindergarten Teacher". The winner receives a night on the town as well as VIP treatment at a performance of the new production.

With an overwhelming number of heartfelt nominations from both peers and parents, The Playhouse judges declared its winner to be: Bryan Cosham of Saint Mary School in Newington!

Cosham graduated from Central Connecticut State University with a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education in 2005 and also received a Master of Science in Special Education from the university in 2009. Having taught at Saint Mary School for 6 years, Bryan received several lengthy nominations hailing him not only as a devout teacher, but a caring guide to his students and their parents as well as a passionate and active member of the school and community as a whole. 

On March 9th, Cosham and 5 of his friends will attend Playhouse on Park's Friday Cabaret at Falcetti Music where they will be greeted and welcomed to enjoy the performances along with wine and cheese in the cozy atmosphere. Following the cabaret, our guests will head to Rizzuto's Wood-Fired Kitchen and Bar where they will be treated to a delicious Italian dinner, compliments of the restaurant. Cosham and his guests will then attend a performance of "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" at Playhouse on Park, before being escorted next door to A.C. Petersen Farms to enjoy their famous sundaes complete with delicious toppings and hand-whipped heavy cream courtesy of the Park Road staple.

Playhouse on Park commends Bryan as well as the other nominees for the wonderful roles they play in our children's lives every day. All we really need to know is learned in kindergarten and it is thanks to teachers like them that we are who we are today.
