Kaleidoscope Theatre

“In all children there is a joyous, curious, responsive, and imaginative vitality that must be nourished and stimulated in every child’s growth and carried into adulthood, for, as adults, a sense of joy (the creative instinct) is essential for strength and self-respect. This is the reason for doing children’s theatre”. -Elizabeth Gorrie; Founding Artistic Director
