This show will debut for this year in Rhode Island

follows the classic and timeless tale we all know
and love. Lovely and lively songs
create a mood of enchantment and romance as Rapunzel

2. “ALICE
THROUGH THE KALEIDOSCOPE”
Want to support a great cause and promote awareness
about bullying in schools? Join us for an evening of
all of your
favorite Kaleidoscope songs and characters in a
brand new original story for the whole family to
enjoy. All proceeds
will go toward bringing our "H.S. BU.L.L.Y."
presentation to area high schools around the Rhode
Island and Massachusetts
area.
Synopsis for “Alice through the Kaleidoscope”:
The Fairy Godmother is missing and without her magic
all of Fairy Tale Land is in chaos. No one’s story
is following the
path that it should and it seems that “Happily Ever
After” may be a thing of the past. Even Alice (of
Wonderland) has not ended up where she is supposed
to be. Now she must team up with the Big (not so)
Bad Wolf to find the Fairy Godmother and put
everything right.
This event will be held Friday, May 28th at the
Scottish Rites Auditorium in Cranston, RI and will
feature a family-friendly collection of Kaleidoscope
Theatre songs and characters, along with an original
storyline. Show time is 7:30pm! Tickets are $15 for
adults, $10 for children under 12, and the
intermission will feature a bake sale. The event is
open to the public, so call (401) 942-3637 to
purchase tickets and spread the word to your
friends!
