Oregon Children’s Theatre bad kiTTy P1

i am struck by the redemptive qualities displayed by both of the title characters of bad kitty and Edward Tulane. Neither is

particularly likeable at first, but their journeys teach them the power of love and empathy.

A first grader named Gigi, after seeing Bad Kitty: On Stage, said, “I learned that if you were bad once, you can still be nice….you don’t have to be bad for forever.”

When I first read the Bad Kitty books, I just thought they were funny and would be funny on stage as a play. What I didn’t realize was that Kitty’s journey through the course of the play is a hilarious look at a character whose world suffers a series of seismic shifts: a puppy to compete with, a baby-sitter with limited skills, and an adopted baby moving into her home. Kitty learns to adapt and she eventually feels empathy for Baby and Puppy.

a MEssagE frOM OrEgON ChildrEN’s ThEaTrEHere is a passage from the Bad Kitty script that I love:

In the beginning, there was Kitty. Kitty—all by herself. And life was good.

But in the end, though she would never admit it, Kitty thought maybe her life was better than good when she wasn’t all by herself.

HUMAN: Baby needed someone to feed her. She needed someone to read her stories and play with her. She needed someone to love her and take good care of her—just like you and Puppy once needed all of those things.

[KITTY sniffles as her eyes well up with tears.]

HUMAN: She needed a place to live that was warm and safe.

Just like Gigi says “…if you were bad once...”

When I read Edward Tulane I really did not like Edward. He was so arrogant. But after his long journey (he is lost at

sea, dressed like a girl, thrown in the garbage, hung as a scarecrow, broken to bits, and so much more), he learns to love. On his journey he meets a little girl named Sarah Ruth, whose love he cherishes dearly.

EDWARD: If I had wings, I would fly high up to the stars, where the air is clear and sweet. I would hold Sarah Ruth in my arms, and there, high above the world, she could breathe and laugh and talk, and she wouldn’t ever have to cough again.

When I read these lines in the script I teared up. These shows are very special to me, because the characters learn, grow, and eventually gain the ability to feel empathy for others, to love, and be loved. Ultimately isn’t that at the core of being human?

Be prepared. The first lesson that all cat owners must

(vErb) is that CATS

(vErb) BATHS. For your own safety, please repeat this

to yourself (NuMbEr) times. It’s

not that cats don’t like baths. It’s not that cats have a

(adJECTivE) relationship with baths. It’s

not that cats chose not to vote for baths in the last election.

It’s not that cats would rather choose

(NOuN) over baths. It’s not that cats neglect to send baths

a card on their birthdays. It’s not that cats pick baths last

when they (vErb) sides for a kickball

game. It’s not that cats think about baths in the same was as

(NOuN) thinks about dogs. It’s not that

cats once thought baths are an awesome present that

cost (aMOuNT) dollars, and then

baths didn’t have the decency to say “thank you”. It’s

simply that CATS HATE BATHS!

EMily JuNE NEWTON (The Traveler)Originating from Australia, Emily now resides in Portland working as a comedic

and character performer and works for OCT’s Educational Theatre Program. Having received an MFA in Ensemble-based Physical Theater form Dell’Arte International, CA, Emily is passionate about character-driven work, interactive theater experiences, and storytelling. When she is not on a stage, Emily enjoys reading, petting dogs, and eating Pho. For more go to www.emilyjunenewton.com

JaMEs lusTEr (The Musician)James is happy to be back performing with OCT in such a wonderful show. A proud company member at Action/

Adventure Theatre, his favorite credits include The Giver, Disassembly, and hosting The Dating Game. Off of the stage he’s a crooner, a vintage swing dancer, and Tiki enthusiast. Thanks to Pat Moran, Stephanie Cordell, Emily Newton, Tricia Marie Castaneda-Gonzales, and the rest of the Educational Theatre Program for all their love and support.

EMMa bridgEs (Player)Emma is delighted to be a part of OCT’s The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. After

an acting apprenticeship at Portland Playhouse, Emma has had the pleasure of performing in La Muerte Baila (Milagro Theatre), Orpheus Road (Corrib Theater), and What Every Girl Should Know (Triangle Productions!). Emma’s hobbies include, but are not limited to: eating Thai food, playing music, and being obsessed with pugs.

JOsh EdWard (Player)Josh discovered his passion for acting a few short years ago and is thrilled to be joining a stellar cast in his

first OCT production! Since then, he has appeared in musicals, commercials, and even landed a starring role on the hit NBC show Grimm. Josh stays busy by day as a general contractor restoring old houses for his company, Red Bird Remodeling, but also manages to find “spare” time for writing, playing guitar and piano, and practicing/performing long form improvisation.

CONOr EiflEr (Player)Conor is excited to be performing in this adaptation of one of his all-time favorite books, and playing the banjo

to boot. Conor’s acting, banjo-playing, and writing have been seen at Ars Nova’s ANT Festival, The Samuel French Off-Off Broadway Short Play Festival, Dixon Place, Actor’s Theatre of Louisville, Jalopy Concert Hall, Tears of Joy Puppet Theatre, Nomadic Theatre, Columbia University, and Portland Center Stage’s JAW Playwrights Festival. He graduated from the University of Portland with a BA in Drama and apprenticed at the Actors Theatre of Louisville.

We can learn a lot from a porcelain bunny. That’s certainly the case in this wonderful, thought-provoking rabbit’s tale. Edward Tulane, the hero of our story, is a vain rabbit doll made of china who took his good life for granted. All of that changes when he falls into the ocean and spends the next 20 years on a perilous journey of self-discovery.

At The Standard, we know a few things about planning for the unexpected. Founded in Portland in 1906, our company is in the business of helping people achieve financial well-being and peace of mind. Not surprisingly, our employees and our company consistently find ways to make a difference in the places we live and work. We donate our time and money supporting people who need a hand and the organizations that strengthen our community. That’s why we’re a proud and long-time sponsor of Oregon Children’s Theatre.

OCT has helped generations of children develop and deepen an appreciation for the arts, teaching some important life lessons along the way. It took Edward Tulane two decades to learn one simple truth: often the most challenging, rewarding and important journey we make is traveling from who we are to who we want to be. At The Standard, we want to be a company that always makes a difference. And one that supports little lost rabbit dolls with big stories to tell.

Enjoy the show!

MarCElla CrOWsON (director/ ETP artistic director) Marcella is the Artistic Director of the Educational Theatre Program for OCT.

She was fortunate to be steeped in theater from a young age, growing up in Ashland, Oregon. She played a variety of aliens, old ladies and narrators in her early years – an auspicious beginning to what would become a career in theater spanning more than 25 years. For OCT, she has directed Timmy Failure, Zombie in Love, The Stinky Cheese Man, The Storm in the Barn, A Wrinkle in Time, On the Eve of Friday Morning, Dis/Troy, and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.

In addition to her design work, she enjoys creating with her own two hands, and is always looking to pick up a new skill. Polly moved here from the flatlands of the Midwest in 1991 in order to seek a more diverse kind of beauty that surrounds Portland. She endeavors to insert creativity or adventure in every day, which is why when she’s not in her home studio, she can be found in nature on anything that will propel her: bike, horse, kayak, sailboat, sailboard, skis, her own two feet, or whatever else may be on hand.

TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH THE POWER OF

Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach. Words and Music by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Book by Timothy Allen McDonald. Based on the book James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.


• Edward is repeatedly lost by those who love him. Have you ever lost something you treasured? How did you deal with it?

• As Edward moves from place to place, it changes his life and shapes him into a new person. What are some of the events and experiences that have shaped your life and changed you, for better or for worse?

• Throughout his journey, Edward Tulane yearns to go home. And yet he spends many happy years with people who take him in and give him new homes. Name some places that mean “home” to you.

• Think about a toy you love (or have loved in the past) the most and what would happen if it came to life. What would it think? What would it do? How would it act?

• Edward’s story takes place many years ago in the 1930s. How might his story be different in modern times?

• Is there a difference between the love Edward receives from Abilene at the beginning of the book and the love he receives from Sarah Ruth?

• What made Edward’s journey so miraculous?

kate diCamillo: A friend gave me a very elegant rabbit “doll” (sorry, Edward) for Christmas a couple of years ago. Not long after receiving the rabbit, I had this very clear image of him underwater, on the bottom of the sea, minus all of his finery, lost and alone.

Q: Abilene’s grandmother, Pellegrina, is not happy with Edward. “You disappoint me,” she tells him. What does she expect of Edward?

kd: Edward is, in many ways, Pellegrina’s creation, and because of that her expectations for him are huge. She perceives, quite clearly, that he has failed at the simple and impossible task he was created for: loving Abilene as she loves him.

Q: Are there any other books that inspired you in the writing of this one?

kd: I wasn’t thinking particularly of other books when I was writing Edward, but looking back, I can see that I was influenced by some pretty powerful stories: The Mouse and His Child, Pinocchio, Winnie-the-Pooh, Alice in Wonderland. I can see the influence of all of those masterpieces in my small story.

Q: Did any of this book come from your own childhood?

kd: Everything that I write comes from my childhood in one way or another. I am forever drawing on the sense of mystery and wonder and possibility that pervaded that time of my life.

Q: What was a defining moment, good or bad, that shaped you as a child?

kd: My father leaving the family certainly shaped who I was and how I looked at the world. By the same token, my father telling me fairy tales that he had made up shaped me profoundly, too. As did my mother reading to me.

Q: Do you have any suggestions for engaging and motivating young readers? Do you have any advice for classroom teachers or parents?

kd: The best thing I know to tell parents and teachers about motivating young readers is that reading should not be presented to them as a chore, a duty. It should, instead, be offered as a gift: Look, I will help you unwrap this miraculous present. I will show you how to use it for your own satisfaction and education and deep, intense pleasure. It distresses me that parents insist that their children read or make them read. I think the best way for children to treasure reading is for them to see the adults in their lives reading for their own pleasure.


kiTTy1. Paint tube any color you choose for your

kitty. Make it pink, neon yellow, polka-dot, or striped!

2. Fold in the sides towards the middle to make ears.

3. Make your kitty’s face with googly eyes and whiskers.

4. Use a bead or button for your kitty’s nose and maybe add a macaroni smile!

5. You can also draw or paint your kitty’s face.

In honor of Edward Tulane and Bad Kitty—make some animal friends to play with at home!

suPPliEs:· Both animals will need a hot glue gun, pipe cleaners,

and googly eyes (our favorite part)!· Bunnies will need leftover plastic Easter eggs, paper,

markers, and pom poms.· Kitties will need toilet paper rolls and paint colors of

your choice. · You may also use buttons, jewels, macaroni, or paper

scraps for your animals! · Washable paints, pom poms, markers, googly eyes,

pipe cleaners, and jewels can all be found at your local “Learning Palace.”

buNNy 1. Use half of Easter egg

piece and attach a bunny face using pom poms. These can be any color you choose for your bunny – make it your own!

2. Put a small pom pom on the back for a little tail.

3. Add two googly eyes and cut pipe cleaners for whiskers.

4. Make bunny ears from paper and attach to your bunny. Give your bunny big ears, little ears, floppy ears – whatever you like.

What other creatures can you make with your eggs?

This is a story from 51 years ago, the spring of 1966 when my eighth-grade class went on a big fi eld trip. My name was Joey Foote then. I changed my name from Stan to Joey when I was 6 years old. Like all stories, this one comes with some truths, exaggerations, and deletions. It’s a memory:

There were 16 students in my class. We shared the classroom with the seventh grade class in a four classroom school, Black Butte Ele-mentary in Shingletown, California. Every spring, the eighth-graders traveled to the state capital, Sacramento.

I don’t remember the bus ride. I’m not even sure we took a bus, but most of our parents were pretty poor, so I can’t imagine them having enough vehicles in good enough shape to make the trip. I’m pretty sure it was a bus ride. I remember my older brother preparing for this same trip three years earlier: packing a suitcase, putting on his best clothes, getting ready to do something amazing. I really wanted to go with him! I’m sure I went through the same preparation. My outfi t was probably my standard uniform: sneakers, white t-shirt, white socks, jeans, a button-down long-sleeve shirt, and a coat. My hair was a little bit longer than the usual Shingletown haircut, because The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and The Beach Boys were all infl uencing style. With my hair an outra-geous three inches long on top, I was a rebel in my own mind!

I’m sure we went to the state Capitol, but I don’t remember that part. I’m sure we ate at some amazing (meaning non-Shingletown) restaurant. I’m sure there were many pre-planned activities that let us experience the world outside of Shingletown, but I only re-member one: I went to a museum—the Crocker Art Museum—for the fi rst time.

I remember the façade, although I didn’t know the word “façade” at that time. It was stone and looked like it was out of a movie. Steps leading up to the entrance held the promise of something beyond anything I had ever experienced, and that promise was ful-fi lled the moment I walked in the door. There was art everywhere—and you could just walk around and look at it! I’d had no idea that such a place really existed. I was dumb-founded. It didn’t matter that I was a poor son of a logger from Shingletown; the only thing that mattered was that I was experi-encing something that would change me as a human being. I felt the change happening the moment I entered the museum. The ar-chitecture of the interior contained amazing herringbone hardwood fl oors and grand ban-isters leading to the upper level...to more art! I don’t think I had ever seen a painting, except the paint-by-number paintings my grand-mother did as a crafty hobby. These paintings were rich with layers of color and characters that seemed ancient and important. I saw sculptures beyond the scope of what I thought possible. I wanted to touch each and every one of them, but I didn’t. I had seen pictures of sculptures in books, but this was real!

When we returned home, we had to write an essay about the trip. Mine was all about the Crocker Art Museum. That same year, 1966, I acted in a play at school, went to the sym-phony, and gave up playing the trumpet. And when I graduated from eighth grade, I changed my name back to Stan—which seemed to fi t the person I was becoming bet-ter than Joey. The old me, Joey, had never experienced art, but the new me, Stan, would seek it out every chance he got. Art awakened me to who I wanted to be!

Monterey Bay, California is a gorgeous spot for sun and exploring. A quick drive from the San Jose airport, Monterey makes the dreamiest destination for your future oceanographer. With sweeping views of crashing Pacifi c Ocean waves, the Monterey Bay Aquarium equals the grandeur of much larger aquariums around the country. Watch the trainers feed penguins and sea otters, explore the tentacles of the octopus exhibit, or pet the soft skin of a stingray as the excitement of the day washes away the hours like minutes. A short walk from the aquarium, you can explore the famed canneries of Steinbeck, sampling fabulous local wares and peeking in museums of oddities.

There are great hotels in Monterey, but if you’re traveling with any golfers or explorers in tow, The Inn at Spanish Bay o� ers the best accommodations. Part of Pebble Beach Resort, the Inn at Spanish Bay is not only more a� ordable than the main resort, but it has something the main resort does not: a kids’ explorers program! When you reserve this program, your child becomes a VIP. Upon check-in, little explorers start a memorable adventure. Maps, clues, scavenger hunts, and prizes keep kids wonderfully occupied between swims in the pool. As part of the package, you also get your choice of nine holes of golf on the par three, the use of a convertible, tennis, or a horseback ride on the beach.

Take your time at the main lodge. Walk on the hallowed grounds of one of the top resorts in the world. Take a picture with the Bing Crosby landmark and have lunch outside at The Bench, overlooking the iconic 18th hole at Pebble Beach Resort. Lunch will cost you no more than a lunch in Portland, and the view is truly incomparable. .

Are you over this rain and in desperate need of sunshine and vitamin D? By March, most Portland parents are. While other parts of the country are ushering in warmer temperatures and longer days, Pacifi c Northwest families are trapped indoors, prisoners to the whims of El Niño. Sure, Mount Hood’s snow base is at historic highs, but what if the snow isn’t your young explorer’s preferred terrain?Spring break is a terrifi c time to pull out the suitcases and head out of town. Yes, yes, we know: Oregon is beautiful, and a staycation here is better than most places, but let’s save that option for the sunnier months in Oregon: July through September. It’s perfectly okay in the meantime to seek the bluebird skies of California to rejuvenate our minds and souls. Let’s face it, we may need it, and it might even make us better parents and Oregonians in the months of April and May. So, let’s all sing along while we pack for our trip: “Sunny day, sweepin’ the clouds away…” BY MISTY TOMPOLES

THE LEAD

Symphony Koss, age 15, featured violinist in MetroArts Young Artists Debut!For a girl named Symphony, a career in playing violin may seem easy—but it still takes a lot of work to make those strings sing! That includes summer training since age 10, private lessons, and plenty of participation in orchestras and solo competitions.

ACHIEVEMENTS: First violin* in Portland Youth Philharmonic, concertmaster of Columbia River High School, sat in as a soloist with Oregon Ballet Theatre Orchestra, and was a guest on All Classical Portland, a local FM radio station.

LIKES: Cli� jumping, summer, snow, wa� es, skiing, swimming, fl owers, hot chocolate, sleep, dancing, laughing, hiking, and traveling.

DISLIKES: Not a lot of things... cheese, feeling tired, soggy cereal, cucumbers.

FAVORITE PIECES: Bazzini’s La Ronde des Lutins because it’s so fun and such a challenge to play. Barber Violin Concerto—what I’m playing now—be-cause it has so many di� erent emotions to portray, and it’s so beautiful! The Firebird because it’s so exciting to play with an orchestra, and it sounds so magical. It gave me chills the fi rst time I played it!

DREAM GIG: Pink Martini? I think it would be so fun to play in a group like that when I’m older. I played with them on New Year’s Eve, and it was the most incredible experience of my life!

ONE CONCERTO, ALL THE FEELS! Will be playing Barber’s Violin Concerto, Movement 1. I love this piece because it holds so many di� erent emotions that everyone has felt before. It reaches out to peo-ple in ways that words can’t. The audience will feel so many moods. There is an openness like summer and sunshine, but also darkness, loneliness, and sorrow. Of course, there’s also joy and happiness, with a touch of lust and love.

See Symphony and other standout teen musicians perform in MetroArts Young Artists Debut! Friday, April 1 at Lincoln Hall*In this context, “fi rst violin” doesn’t mean that she was the fi rst to play violin in her orchestra, but that she’s the highest ranked among the violinists in her orchestra.

What’s Art ala Carte?

Art ala Carte is a one-of-a-kind art studio for ALL AGES!

We’ve transformed what were once salad bars into “art bars”—convenient self-serve setups with trays full of art supplies—for an “all you can make” art experience! Drop in during open studio times, load up your tray, and create to your heart’s content, with no time lim-its or supply limits! Art ala Carte also o� ers workshops, birthday parties, and special events.

Art ala Carte o� ers a wide variety of recycled materials. Most materials are obtained through our upcycling pro-gram, whereby we encourage artists to bring in gently used supplies to re-ceive a discount. We also work with local businesses to re-use the materials they would normally toss out. If an artist cre-ates a piece they’re not attached to, we encourage them to bring it back, so we can take it apart and use the materials again. We devote 20–40 sta� hours every week to the upcycling of fun supplies.

What’s recycled art?

You don’t need fancy, expensive sup-plies to create masterpieces! Get cre-ative and use materials like aluminum cans, egg cartons, bike pieces, keyboard keys, shoeboxes, and CDs! Many famous artists work strictly with recycled ma-terials: Michelle Reader, Wim Delvoye,

Yuken Teruya, and Jane Perkins are all well-known recycled material artists.

Keep in mind that visual art can “look like” something or it can be abstract. Recycled materials often add intriguing textures that enrich abstract works. Also keep in mind that art can take many forms—sculpture, collage, decor—and be displayed in many places—house, garden, o� ce. Many recycled materials often have the durability to withstand di� erent kinds of display.

What’s the Recycled Arts Festival?

The Recycled Arts Festival started a decade ago as a way to educate the com-munity and get people excited about waste reduction, re-use, and recycling in Clark County. The Festival helps peo-ple see the items that they normally throw away in a new, beautiful light—as art supplies. Now, it has grown into a huge family event with over 120 artists participating. Come out to this two day festival to peruse artists’ creations made of at least 70% recycled or repurposed content. You can also help your kids make their own one-of-a-kind creation, relax and listen to music, and learn what you can do to improve the environment!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

CRAFT CORNERWe love seeing what you make! Send us a photo of your craft to [email protected]

KIDS CREATE

• 2–3 empty egg cartons

• Glue. A hot glue gun works best, but you’ll need an adult’s help.

• Paints

• 1 medium-sized bowl or plate

• 1 large bowl or plate

• A fl at piece of cardboard that’s larger than the large bowl you’re using. Cereal boxes work great!

• Embellishments for decorating such as jewels, paper cutouts, or glitter. We used buttons.

YOU WILL NEED:

1. Rip apart the egg cartons. You can keep the pieces organic in their texture or cut into desired fl ower shapes.

2. Paint the egg carton fl owers bright and beautiful colors. Allow to dry com-pletely, which could take a few hours.

3. Use the smaller of the two bowls or plates to trace a circle on your piece of cardboard. Then, use the bigger bowl or plate to trace a circle around the smaller circle you just drew. Cut along the two circles. You’ll be left with a fl at cardboard donut; this will be the base of your wreath!

4. When the fl owers are completely dry, glue them to the base and add desired embellishments.
