The show will be at 2:00pm and features several local performers from Massachusetts.

Tickets can be reserved by calling (780) 230-EXPO! Tickets can now also be purchased online through Paypal here. 2. BULLY at PPAC Kaleidoscope has a wonderful opportunity to perform at the Providence Performing Arts Center as part of this year’s Bank of America Arts Showcase. The performance will be Thursday, November 5th at 9:30am. Over 1500 students, from grades 5-8, will be attending the performance! This performance will feature the original BULLY script, but we will also be debuting some of the orchestrations for the upcoming “High School Bully” show. We hope this combination of original script and updated music will be perfect for the middle school aged audience. If you’re interested in bring our very successful anti-bullying program to your school, please call Kaleidoscope Theatre at (401) 942-3637. 3. HIGH SCHOOL BULLY UPDATE At this time, we wanted to update you on the development of “High School Bully.” The script has been finished and the new music has been orchestrated. Next week, Kaleidoscope will start rehearsing the show! The original “BULLY” program for elementary schools was performed in-the-round, meaning the audience sits on all sides of the action. For the high school version, we will be performing in school auditoriums and need to adapt our staging and blocking to accommodate a proscenium or presentational set up. Kaleidoscope performers will also start learning the new lines and music for the production and hope to have an initial preview performance in the next couple of months. Stay tuned! 4.
