‘Kaleidoscope’ is the latest touring production by York-based Riding Lights, one of the country’s longest-established and most productive independent theatre companies and rooted in a Christian ethos.
In a crowded house a man walks a new walk… young lovers set a teeth-chattering example of faith… while a gangster starts up in the forgiveness business, a fool dreams of escape on a rocket to Mars… and there’s a jaw-dropping moment for prisoners when singing unlocks the doors.
Offered to local churches and community venues to support fundraising or other events and ventures, Kaleidoscope is touring venues in Scotland and England in October and November, but makes its only appearances within the Diocese of York on Saturday 26th October (7.30pm, Friargate Theatre, York) and on Sunday 27th October (7.00pm, Clifton Parish Church, York).
Among the manicured, self-managed images of the YouTube influencers and evaporating virtual dreams, this show celebrates substance and truth and joy.
“Can the rich kaleidoscope of the good news of Jesus reveal new patterns which are life-changing in the 21st century? Is there an influencer we can trust to tell us the truth? Delight in us for who we are and help us build a community which values everyone?”
A vibrant, sparkling show, packed full of entertaining stories and comedy that connect with hopes and fears today.
The show lasts about 90 minutes plus an interval and is suitable for 11 years and up.
