2nd ANNUAL FESTIVAL OFFERS DYNAMIC FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT
VICTORIA, B.C. —(April 14, 2013) The second annual Kaleidoscope Family Theatre Festival takes over Victoria’s Centennial Square and Fort Rodd Hill with a lineup of dynamic family entertainment.
Kaleidoscope’s festival features three main stage productions in Centennial Square from Theatre SKAM, SNAFU Dance Theatre, and Kaleidoscope’s Teen Ensemble from May 1-4. The festival continues from May 7-11 at Fort Rodd Hill & Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Sites of Canada with Urban Arts’ Robinson & Crusoe. The festival in Centennial Square is complimented by a rotating schedule of free entertainment including buskers, magicians, musicians, and face painters on May 3 & 4.
A teenage environmental activist grapples with love, loss, and extraterrestrials in Theatre SKAM’s Runaway. A bittersweet slice of life with a dash of humour and a pinch of song based on a 10-minute play written by Mika Laulainen & Rae Takei for Theatre SKAM’s 2012 Bike Ride.
SNAFU Dance Theatre’s SomethingVille is an absurd physical comedy set to classical music, inspired by Pixar, Dr. Seuss, and Sci-Fi films of the 1970s.
Snow White by Kaleidoscope’s Teen Performance Ensemble is an enchanting reimagined fairytale utilizing mask, puppetry, and a spark of imagination to bring the story to life.
Urban Arts’ Robinson & Crusoe throws two pilots, only one who speaks English, head on into a battle to survive and overcome cultural differences, all while stranded on a rooftop afloat in the sea.
The Family Theatre Festival closes Kaleidoscope Theatre’s 39th season which has included The Rocky Horror Show, and The Neverending Story.
