What is it like to be the new kid at Kaliedoscope Theater?

When I first entered Kaliedoscope Theater in 2005, I didn't know what to expect. The people are very supportive and friendly. When I first started looking for a job in 2004, I went to see a play at Rhode Island College with my mom. I bumped into Tommy Irafrati at the entertance near Robert's Hall. I overheard back then that Tommy is looking for a new actor to be part of his theater company. I went immediately to Kaliedoscope Theater to see what's up. When I got there, they ask me to read from the script for one of their fairytale plays. They also asked me to sing a song from the Frog Prince called "How I Love This Feeling". They were totally impressed by my singing voice so they gave me a job with them.

My very first play with them was I'm Special, You're Special. We started

that play in 2005. The play was a total success and it touched the kid's hearts. The theme of the play was tolerance and acceptance with people who are born with down syndrome. I played the maine character of David Brown who was born with the same condition I was born with. He had an tough time in his school that he was included with his brother and sister. At the end David made friends with the class mates and the teachers expect from Beth Turner. I also earned a second place ribbion in the science fair and became an manager on his brother's basketball team. We continue doing this play in 2006, 2007 and this year as well. It was that popluar.

Kaiedoscope has more plays as well not just school touring plays. They also have dinner theater and fairytale musicals in the summertime. My very first fairytale with Kaliedoscope Theater is the Frog Prince in 2005. It became so popular that we decided to do the Frog Prince in 2007.

In 2006, I did Jack and the Beanstalk for the very first time. That play was wonderful and I got an excellient role of playing an magician who does tricks for the audience. That play was also popular so they put that play on the list for the summer 2008 series. I also did Sleeping Beauty for the first time as well in the 2006 summer series. I loved that play! In the play, I was Domenic. In the beginning Domenic protected young Stefen as an servant. Domenic had big dreams of becoming an knight someday. At the end, Domenic became the very first knight under the teachings of Stefen.

I will continue of working with Kaliedoscope through years to come. This is my big chance of entertaining the children audience.
