About Kaleidoscope Children's Theater: Founded in 1977, Kaleidoscope Theatre creates the opportunity for talented young people to develop theatrical abilities by encouraging participation in the production and performance of theatrical plays. The goal of each performance is to educate and entertain young people through the medium of presentational and participatory drama.
Kaleidoscope Theatre incorporates many of its theatrical topics to address youth educational issues such as drug dependence, drug prevention and elimination issues, teen pregnancy, divorce, deafness, as well as mainstreaming (inclusion) both in schools and in society. Young actors with differing abilities, or maybe mentally challenged, are encouraged to participate in all areas of theatrical production. Each production contains important messages as subtly as possible but with the recurring theme that "we are all special."
