EXTRA EXTRA!   CHILDSPLAY is looking for KID REPORTERS!

DETAILS: Childsplay is looking for Kid Reporters for its 2015-2016 season! A Childsplay Kid Reporter will be invited to a Childsplay performance, where they will get an exclusive interview with cast members and will write an article that will be published for Childsplay patrons on our Kid Reporter blog! Each Kid Reporter will enjoy an "insider's" package at the theatre that includes: Free seats to a Childsplay performance for the reporter and his/her family An exclusive interview with members of the cast backstage A backstage tour with a member of the cast or crew  Their name announced as Kid Reporter for the day during the pre-show announcement Special "Press Pass" to wear and have as a keepsake, which includes their photo Autographed photos from the cast  Exclusive tour of Childsplay's Campus for Imagination and Wonder (our prop and costume shops included!)  Additionally, the Kid Reporter will be invited to tour the Channel 12 News offices to see behind-the-scenes of a real newsroom, including real producers, reporters, equipment and all!

DUTIES: The Kid Reporter will need to come to the show prepared with questions. These questions can be about the play, the performers, and anything else they want to know!
