Hello all,

This is Ryan here. For those of you who haven't met me I am Kaleidoscopes official/unofficial cameraman. It is a position official only by a caption on a MySpace picture and unofficial in all other respectable aspects. I have also played The Huntsman in both Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the folks at Kaleidoscope for letting me become an official contributor to this blog as well as the public one. I will be using this opportunity to do blogs from the perspective of a performer working at Kaleidoscope, which was an idea inspired by Nikki and Mia, two of our younger actors.

This blog will most likely be posted on the other Kaleidoscope blog for everyone to see. While this summer has now come to a close, I thought I would think back to the last two summers and tell some of those tales.

I hope you enjoy the upcoming entries. I also have two of my own blogs for others to visit if interested. One is a personal journal and the other is my journal on dramaturgy. Neither are updated as often as they should be.

Thanks for reading and thanks again to Kaleidoscope for this great opportunity. In the words of Garrison Keillor "be well, do good work, and keep in touch".

This Week's Schedule 9/1/08 - 9/5/08

Thank you all for such a wonderful summer! While our schedule is pretty empty this week, we have many days of BULLY ahead... we'll be calling people about specific dates next week! :)

MONDAY 9/1

Happy Labor Day!

Kaleidoscope closed.

TUESDAY 9/2

Marianne's B-day!

WEDNESDAY 9/3

THURSDAY 9/4

FRIDAY 9/5

6:00-10:00pm - Kaleidevent - Tap night and Greek festival!

The plan is to keep going with the routine we started last week... don't worry if you missed it though, we'll all help new people catch up! After tap, we plan to walk over to the yummy Greek festival and get some food - everyone is welcome to join us! :)

Kaleidevent- Goodbye Jamie!

Jamie will be off to New York soon and to say our last goodbye, we will be holding a movie night with popcorn, fun and games! Kaleidoscope will supply the popcorn, feel free to bring something comfy to sit on and any games you'd like to play!

The event will be held September 10th at six o'clock. The movie will start at seven and is the modern-day fairytale titled Penelope about love and self-acceptance. Penelope Wilhern, born to wealthy socialites, is afflicted by a secret family curse that can only be broken when she is "loved by one of her own kind." Hidden away in her family's estate, the lonely girl is subjected to meeting a string of blue bloods through her parent's futile attempts to break the curse. Each suitor is enamored with Penelope (and her sizable dowry)...until the curse is revealed. Fed up with this the attempts to marry her off and determined to live life on her own terms, Penelope breaks free from her family, venturing into the world alone. She finds friendship, adventure, and becomes the person she was meant to be out on her own.

Hope to see you all there!
