Kaleidoscope Theatre, headquar- tered in Victoria, has been active for more than nine years, entertain- ing schoo! children throughout the province with hour-long improvisational theatre with a message. The plays, often prompted with ideas from the young audience, are lively, colourful, and offer the youngsters an opportunity to participate and to think about the morals of the stories. School districts apply directly to the theatre company to have them perform for their students, Each school district pays a basic fee and then each school in the district is. asked if it wants to participate in any number of a selection of per- formances for the students. ‘Locally, School District 88's Terry _ Anderson co-ordinates these acti- vities for the whole district. The Kaleidoscope Theatre Com- pany is co-sponsored by PetroCan, Air B.C. and Canada Council touring grants. They will be mak- ing a special trip to Detroit in the spring and will then perform in Ontario until May 1991, with the highlight of their tour being per- formances at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. ‘On the Small Sc | Video reviews by Harriet Fjaagesund Spaced Invaders Starring Douglas Barr, Royal Dano, Ariana Richards.
