E-mail Snafu

We are currently switching over to our new website! In the end, the domain http://www.kaleidoscopetheatre.com/ will point to the new site (which is currently online and available by using the address http://www.kaleidoscopechildrenstheatre.com/).

During the switch over, all our e-mail that uses "kaleidoscopetheatre.com" (for example, kaleidoscope@kaleidoscopetheatre.com) is not working!

So, if you need to contact us, either call the office at (401) 942-3637 or e-mail us directly at kaleidoscope1977@gmail.com.

Sorry for any inconvenience!

30th Anniversary Party!!

By now, many of you have probably received an invitation to our 30th anniversary party on October 27th! If you haven't, or if you know any kaleidoscopians who haven't, please check out the party page on our brand new website http://www.kaleidoscopechildrenstheatre.com/30thparty.htm

Fill out a sign up form and mail it in to Kaleidoscope Theatre (65 Freedom Dr. Cranston, RI) to reserve your spot at the party! Don't be left out, everyone must RSVP by the end of September!

Please let other members know about the party...trying to track down 30 years of kaleidoscopians is quite the daunting task! We don't have current addresses and phone numbers for many of our former members and we want to make sure everyone who wants to come can do so! Spread the word!

Thanks!

Week Six: The Three Pigs

Come join us, as the three pigs try to make it onto America’s Barnyard Idol! But watch out for that big, bad Elvis-loving wolf who has stolen their ticket to the big audition! Can they get their ticket back in time? Can Mama Pig save them from the Wolf? Will the Pigs make it big in show business?

Splash! Young Prince Noble is having a really bad day - a smelly Gypsy woman is in love with him, he gets pushed down a well, and then he’s transformed into an icky green frog! Now instead of traveling the land looking for a beautiful wife, he's short, green, and hoping to catch a fly for dinner!

Will Prince Noble learn a lesson in humility and win the lovely Princess Cassandra’s heart? Watch as plots twist, stories intertwine, and all the characters discover that Happy Endings can happen when you least expect them!

This Week at Kaleidoscope!

Come join us this week for the debut of our brand new musical, Cinderella, Too! This fun-filled show picks up right where Cinderella left off!

Cinderella's excitement over her upcoming wedding to the Prince is soon overshadowed by the sudden appearance of the Spanish Ambassador with an ancient document betrothing the Princess of Spain to Prince Charming. But where does that leave Cinderella? Is Spain really involved, or are Stepmother and the Stepsisters scheming again? With exciting new music and amazing dance numbers, Cinderella, Too! will be a ton of fun for everyone!

The show will be at Rhode Island College on Tuesday, July 31st at 11:00am. For more information or to order tickets, please call the RIC Box Office at (401) 456-8144.

Cinderella and her Prince will also be appearing this Saturday at Homestead Gardens in North Smithfield, RI from 11:00am to 2:00pm
