5. CONGRATULATIONS, JONATHAN!

 

We have some great news to share! Jonathan Goff (last

summer's Ralph Piggy in "The Three Pigs" and Baby Bear in

"Goldilocks") was cast as a newsboy in the tour of "Gypsy"!

He leaves Rhode Island on January 20th and will tour the

western United States, returning home at the end of May.

Way to go, Jonathan!

6. CONGRATULATIONS, ANDY AND BECKLEY!

 

We'd also like to congratulate Beckley and Andy Andrews.

This brother and sister team graced the Kaleidoscope stage

for many years as: Pochahontas, Snow White, Pinocchio, and

Rumpelstiltskin, among others. In 2008, look for Beckley in the

Broadway revival of "Gypsy" (starring Patti LaPone) and look

for Andy on the SciFi channel as part of "Ghost Hunters:

International." Congratulations to both of them!
