The Rainbow Company! : IACT PRODUCTIONS

The Rainbow Entertainment Company Incorporated
'...a brief history.'

The Rainbow Company provides an exceptional and unique experience in children's theatre and dramatic art enrichment, totally unmatched, since nineteen ninety one. Children not only attend performances produced by the Rainbow Company, they participate in them. The whole concept of children's theatre was altered overnight by taking children out of the audience, bringing them up on stage, voluntarily, and allowing them the opportunity to participate in the production as an intricate and significant performer. So it is to this very day...

... and that was only the beginning.

Shortly after the birth of Inter-Active Children's Theatre, creators Elaine Mitchell Shaw and Christopher Edward Robin raised the curtain for young thespians throughout the region. Students performed in IACT presentations most weekday mornings and on weekends. Birthday celebrants partied right on the stage and every October, the theatre was transformed into the Spooky Spectacular Haunted House. Preschool and kindergarten students, learned basic aspects of performance in the early afternoon, and from the late afternoon into early evening, school age children were able to study and perform as never before.

The Rainbow Company's Dramatic Arts Enrichment programs lead to healthy modes of self-expression. Studying drama increases self-esteem and encourages students to do well in school. The study of dramatic art examines a wide level of behaviorial characteristics. It teaches students to be considerate and respectful and to care for the environment, their community, and others.

Today, The Rainbow Company continues to provide more performances and classes throughout the Greater Washington area than ever before. With nearly two decades of experience and constant development of new productions, efficient scenery and progressive instructional ideals, the Rainbow Company has been able to dramatically expand its client base and keep prices competitive yet reasonable. The Rainbow Company offers classes sponsored by Parent Teacher Organizations within area elementary schools, home school associations, church preschools and others. The success of the IACT™ and DAE™ programs is growing, and with support from communities like yours, it shall continue to do so.

FYI!
The Rainbow Entertainment Company has many performances available for a wide range of audiences.

When selecting a performance for your group or child's birthday celebration, remember who your target audience is. While Snow White is a great story, it might not be appropriate for children under the age of five. The evil Queen can be a little scary.

Sylvester And The Magic Pebble is a wonderful story for Preschool on up.

If your audience is between six and ten, think about selecting Treasure Island or Sword In The Stone. Both are a lot of fun for an older crowd.

Performance selection is generally up to our Client. However, after twelve years of performing for thousands of audiences, IACT Coordinators know what will and will not work with a particular group. We will never perform a show that a particular audience will not enjoy. The success of your Rainbow Company IACT performance is as important to us as it is to you.

Thank You,

Mr. Christopher
Production Coordinator
