I’m pleased to inform you that Totland Regeneration Partnership has made a donation of £50 to our funds. We have worked closely with the Partnership for a number of years with Kaleidoscope members attending meetings and assisting with the organisation of a variety of events and projects. The Partnership has publicised our events in their literature and have often let us borrow equipment free of charge. They are keen to see us continue in the same vein and I believe this is a beneficial recognition of the work Kaleidoscope has been doing over the past year.

There is still time to get tickets for New Strolling Players’ production of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, with Kaleidoscope’s very own Kelly Pearce taking a lead role.

Tony Moore plays the villain of the show with exceptional gusto and is aptly supported by Phil Selby’s split-second adlibbing and quick wit. Very much a traditional pantomime the dialogue encompasses local references and encourages audience participation at every available opportunity.

Congratulations to everyone involved in Totland Church Hall’s pantomime ‘Dick Whittington’, it was well supported and has received good reviews. Tickets are still available for ‘Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves’ at Freshwater Memorial Hall, starting this Wednesday and running until Saturday, please contact us if you would like to book tickets. Thank you to the Kaleidoscope members who are currently providing technical support to this production.

This week has seen Kaleidoscope members working on New Strolling Players pantomime “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves”. This is due to run at Freshwater Memorial Hall from Wednesday 17th December to Saturday 20th December starting at 7:30pm with a matinee on the Saturday starting at 2:30pm.
