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
