It was published by Vintage Books, a paperback division of Random House. "This show adapted wonderfully to an online environment.The Vintage Bradbury (1965) was the first "best of" collection of the stories of Ray Bradbury, as selected by the author. It's also only about 35 minutes long, which most viewers seem to prefer, but it could easily be paired with something else for a longer evening. Review by Tara Enedy, Altoona Community Theatre, Altoona, Pa. Lots of good, meaningful character stuff for them to dig into. Our audiences were also moved by the show. Review by Michael Moore, Yantis High School, Yantis, Texas It has nuances in the script that can bring out the best in the actors and technical challenges for director and tech crew but if done right, creates a moving story that's quite different from most other plays just by its setting." "My cast, crew and I truly enjoyed this show. " Kaleidoscope allows the actors and audience members to evaluate their own mortality. Suspense, silence, and emotion all lead to a riveting conclusion for the members of Space Flight Apollo 99. They had to be able to articulate a character without use of their bodies (as they were floating in space)." My cast was challenged by the subject matter as well as staging. Review by Kristen Williams, Tunstall High School, Dry Fork, Va. "Excellent script! The teens find the material challenging and very emotional. Bradbury's themes stand out as strongly today as when this was written." I have never heard such silent listening from the audience. Review by Darlene Lentz, Sand/Storybook Theater Center, Deland, Fla. Hints, Tips, and Tricks "We used painters coveralls for the astronaut suits - sewed NASA patches onto them. White gloves and painter's booties completed the look. When they put their "helmets" on it was just a matter of popping on the hoodie. When the ship exploded, the actors moved the blocks to lights pre-placed on the stage (flat LED pars, and a party light for Applegate's kaleidoscope meteor swarm). Actors were each lit with their own light which went out when their character died. Some actors stood on the block, others in front of. When the character died, they sat on the block with back to the audience (in the "dim"). The most expensive part of all of this was obviously the lights, but those are going to be useful for many shows to come, so they were a good investment." Tip by Eric Holsen, South St. "I think the key to making this play work is the use of light and sound. Once the play is underway, it needs a nearly blacked out stage so lighting the actors is crucial. Sound needs layers of electronic noise, old radio broadcasts and music for certain scenes to reach full potential.
