High School BULLY preview

Kaleidoscope Theatre recently performed BULLY at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC). This performance featured the original BULLY script, but also the debut of some of the orchestrations for the upcoming High School Bully show. We thought this combination of original script and updated music would be perfect for the middle school aged audience!

Here is a video clip of the updated version of "Under the Sea" as performed at PPAC!




Stay tuned for more updates on High School BULLY! If you’re interested in bringing our very successful anti-bullying program to your school, please call Kaleidoscope Theatre at (401) 942-3637.
