1. UPCOMING PERFORMANCES

 

The fall season at Kaleidoscope Theatre is predominantly full of school-touring shows, but we do have some public

performances scheduled. Tickets for these productions are not on sale yet, but we hope you mark the dates in your calendars!

 

On Sunday, October 26th we will be performing "Snow White" at Westborough High School in Westborough, MA. This performance will be part of Westborough Special Education's fundraising activities, and we hope you all come out and support a worthy  cause!

 

Over Thanksgiving weekend, Kaleidoscope will be on tour in New Jersey performing "Hansel & Gretel" at the Kelsey Theatre. Kaleidoscope always enjoys its visits to the beautiful Mercer County Community College campus and we're all looking forward to returning there this year!

 

Shows are at 2:00pm and 4:00pm on both November 29th and 30th. On December 1st, there will be two special school shows at 9:45 and 11:15am. Kaleidoscope will be returning to the Kelsey Theatre again in 2009 with performances of "Little Red" and "The Frog Prince". For more information about the Kelsey Theatre, or to purchase tickets to one of our performances, please call (609) 570-3333.

3. LOOKING THROUGH THE KALEIDOSCOPE

 

As many of you may know, Ryan (our unofficial camera man) has been writing wonderful blog entries about his experiences at  Kaleidoscope Theatre.

 

Here is a wonderful excerpt we'd like to share with everyone: "But once in a while, you find a place like Kaleidoscope and you can be a part of a greater thing - something that surpasses thestanding ovations and autograph lines. It is the ability to become a family and the ability to keep people in your heart for years to come. For those of you fortunate enough to become a member of this family, no matter what happens, remember that you can come home anytime."

 

If you're interested in learning more about being a member of the Kaleidoscope Theatre family, please check out his posts on our official blog: www.kscopetheatre.blogspot.com.

 

Happy reading!
