SCHOOL-TOURING SHOWS The
winter months here at Kaleidoscope are filled
primarily with school-touring performances.
Kaleidoscope has several award-winning shows that
can come to your child's school this spring! We
have educational shows, such as "B.U.L.L.Y." (Better
Understanding by Listening and Learning about You),
which addresses the ever-present and often dangerous
problem of bullying amongst children, and "I'm
Special – You're Special", a show that deals with
the inclusion of a young boy with Down Syndrome into
his brother's and sister's school. Several of our smaller fairytale
productions, such as "Little Red Ridinghood"
(suggested for K through 6) and "Goldilocks & the
Three Bears" (suggested for pre-K through 3) also
tour to schools!
Please encourage any interested parties who are
curious about our programs to visit the website or
call our office at

Thank you,
Kaleidoscope is proud to announce
the return of "Aladdin" to our summer schedule! This
fairytale will be remounted for 2009 with the help
of grant money from RISCA (Rhode Island State
Council on the Arts). Recently, Kaleidoscope was
awarded a grant to produce three new backdrops in
collaboration with Laura
McPherson and Kaleidoscope volunteers will be
designing and painting three new drops for the show:
an oasis, a bazaar, and the Sultan's palace. Much of
the work will be done with Kaleidoscope volunteers
over April school vacation – Stay tuned for photos!
