4. SUPPORTING OUR MEMBERS - Success For Life 101 Seminars

Marianne Douglas (Fairy Godmother in Cinderella and Cinderella’s Wedding this summer) is holding seminars at various locations for recent high school graduates this summer called Success for Life 101: A How-to Guide for Life After High School.

Marianne also plays the teacher/mother in and helped write the high school/middle school version of BULLY partly based on the multiple award winning anti-bullying leadership/success program Strategies for Success. She is a wonderfully positive influence on everyone with whom she comes in contact. Her passion and drive to support students is apparent in everything she does. Thank you Marianne!!

5. CONGRATULATIONS OLIVIA!

Congratulations to our very own Olivia Sczuroski for winning the Motif Award for Best Performance by a Youth for her performance as Young Thomas in our production of Pocahontas. Young actors from all over Rhode Island were nominated for this award. Other Kaleidoscope shows that were nominated were:

Magic of Storytime for Best Musical

High School BULLY for Best New Work

We are very proud of her and all of our extremely talented performers we are lucky enough to have here at Kaleidoscope Theatre!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

6. SCHOOL-TOURING SHOWS

Spring is winding to a close and summer approaches, but we still have a few performances touring local schools:

BULLY at Leo Savore Elementary on June 9 and Brown Ave on June 10.

GOLDILOCKS at Barnum Preschool on June 21 & 22.

BULLY at Smithfield YMCA July 13

Host BULLY at your camp this summer!! Call 401-942-3637. We have limited availability so CALL NOW!! : )

Thinking ahead to the Fall:

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 Riding Hood” (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 at

www.kaleidoscopetheatre.com or call our office at (401) 942-3637

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Memory - George Savella

2011-01-04T07:04:00.000-05:00

As many of you may already know via facebook, Francesca's father passed away over the weekend. Francesca has been active with Kaleidoscope for a number of years and recently played Mother Hubbard in "Mother Goose" and Disgustia in "Cinderella." In order to raise the wonderful Francesca, we know he must have been an amazing man. Our thoughts are with her at this time and Kscope will be showing support by attending the wake tomorrow around 5pm.

SAVELLA, GEORGE H., 51, of Bakewell Ct., Cranston, passed away Saturday, January 1, 2011 at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He was the beloved husband of Barbara M. (Caputo) Savella. Born in Providence, he was the son of the late George A. and Helen C. (Szylin) Savella. George was a science teacher at North Kingstown High School for the past 10 years and was also the former owner of George's Lawncare, Inc. He graduated from Cranston High School West; received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Roger Williams University in 1981; and graduated from Providence College Teaching Certification Program in 2000. He was a member of the Alpine Country Club, the N.E.A., past coach of Cranston Western Little League and past den leader in Pack 12 Cub Scouts, Cranston. An avid sports enthusiast, George was a fan of Notre Dame Football, PC Friars, Boston Red Sox and N.E. Patriots. Besides his wife, he was the loving and devoted father of Francesca M. Savella and Thomas G. Savella; dear brother of Donna M. Carpenter and her husband Jeffrey of North Kingstown; dear son-in-law of Thomas and Concetta Caputo of Cranston, dear brother-in-law of Dr. Edward and Dr. Judith Caputo of Cranston; and loving uncle of Edward Caputo, Jr. and Brianna Caputo. George also leaves his best friend and companion Brady. Funeral from the NARDOLILLO FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORY, 1278 Park Ave., Cranston on Thursday at 8:45 a.m. followed by a Mass of Christian Burial in Holy Apostles Church, 800 Pippin Orchard Rd., Cranston at 10:00 a.m. Interment will be at St. Ann Cemetery in Cranston. VISITING HOURS WEDNESDAY, 4-8 p.m. Visit www.nardolillo.com for information and online condolences.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you all! Have a safe and happy weekend and we hope to see you all in 2011!

** Upcoming events:

* Several people missed the recent hoodie order, so we will be placing another one after Christmas. If you're interested, please email Nicki by December 29th with your name and size info. We're also getting some polos ($20) with the logo on them, let us know if you want one of those!

* Friday, January 14th is the new date for the Improv show! Kaleidoscope will be going to support Ryan at the Speed of Thought Playhouse Cafe (39 North Washington Street, North Attleboro, MA 02760).

As far as details go, The Speed of Thought Players present improv comedy in the style of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?", creating fast, funny scenes based on the audience's suggestions. We plan to arrive around 8:30pm for the show starts at 9:00 and goes to about 11:00pm. Kaleidoscope is getting a group rate of $5 per person as opposed to $10. Just say you are with Kaleidoscope and you will be all set. For those who want to stay after the show, there is karaoke. Food and drink are also available, including alcohol for those 21+ with valid ID. The show might (and probably will) contain adult themes, so this event is for 18 and older. Let us know if you plan to come so we can give them a heads up of how many we will be!!

The Kaleidoscope Staff will be attending the wake right at 4pm if anyone else would like to go with us. While Bill last performed on the Kaleidoscope stage more than 10 years ago, we always hoped he'd be back... his presence will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Kaleidoscope Theatre will be receiving the Justice Award for 2009 given by RI Attorney General, Patrick Lynch, on February 25th, 2010!

The award letter we received stated -

Kaleidoscope Children’s Theatre has been selected as a 2009 recipient of the Justice Award, symbolizing not only it’s tradition of artistic excellence but also the Theatre’s commitment to educating our children about crime and harmful behavior such as in its excellent production of B.U.L.L.Y.

Congratulations and thank you to all who made this possible over the years by sharing their dedication, hard work and talents.

We would especially like to thank those responsible for our most recent touring production, High School BULLY, which was so positively reviewed by members of the RI Attorney General’s office. They are:

The Rhode Island Foundation, in particular Alex McCray, whose help and support gave our Executive Director, David Payton, the encouragement to persevere and create the High School BULLY script. The RIF gave us a grant to create the script which is based on David’s production B.U.L.L.Y. (Better Understanding by Listening and Learning about You) for elementary schools.
The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, especially Liz Keithline, who also guided and supported David. RISCA gave us a grant to arrange/orchestrate the music which was done magnificently by RI Artist, Dan Delange.
The P.A.V.E organization headed by retired Police Lieutenant, John Reis, whose steadfast belief and energy helped make the script so strong. P.A.V.E. gave us a grant to perform the production at ten high schools in RI.
Our Managing Director, Bob Zannini, who has managed to make us successful every year for the past 33 years. Without his guidance and support we would never have been able to do all that we do!
Our Administrative Director, Nicole Frechette who arranged rehearsals, planned schedules, did sound for the show and so much more and our Educational Director, Jamie Dellorco made the bookings for us.
Bill Whitehead, one of our revered performers, who directed the show and did wonderful things with it.
Long time friend and performer as well as a former ‘Teacher of the Year’, Marianne Douglas. When we needed ways and strategies for teens to handle bullying and stressful situations, she shared several of her strategies from her multi-award winning curriculum for high school students, ‘Strategies for Success’, and helped to create our new production which is itself now award winning.
Internationally acclaimed Contemporary Gospel legend, Ray Boltz, for allowing us to use his original song, 'The Swimming Hole', to open our show and set the theme of dealing with and overcoming injustice. Thanks Ray for sharing your talents and for being such a good friend.
James Robinson and Stump from Youth Pride RI and all of the OUTspoken Players that provided valuable feedback throughout the writing process.
Our fantastically talented group of young performers who believed in the project and gave so much of their time and talents. The current performers touring in High School BULLY are: Joe Catanzaro, Ben Craven, Jamie Dellorco, Marianne Douglas, Luke Doyle, Krista-Louise Genereux, Megan Gonsalves, Sam Hood, Amber Johnson, James Lambert, Brendan Macera, Cameron Marcotte, David Payton, Sarah Pothier, Jillian Rivers-Keegan, Roxy Roca, Patrick Saunders, Audrey Thompson, and Dan Walsh.
The schools, principals, teachers, guidance counselors and parents who bring us into their schools to educate and entertain their students year after year and also all of the fans who come year after year to see our productions at Rhode Island College or at the Scottish Rites in Cranston, bringing their families, as well as members of their organizations, schools or groups.
The Angels out there who give so much to help us raise funds for our programs, in particular, Carrabas Restaurant manager, Jim Lee, The Shriners, Wayne Sutton, The John Moran Fund’s, Jerry Ventre and The Pauls Foundation’s David Valkema and Paul Mavros.

Getting this award helps tremendously to shed light upon our theatre company and in particular our BULLY programs. These vital programs can only continue through the financial support of individuals and organizations who recognize how imperative it is that we help our youth by giving them the strategies they need to succeed in school and in life.

This can only be accomplished with your help. If you believe in what we are doing and you are able to help us get the messages out by either your own personal financial support or your company’s financial support then please contact us and make our programs available to those who so desperately need them. Together we will make a difference.

Thank you. Thank you all.
~ David
