Holiday performances in RI, from Scrooge to Cirque du Soleil

Actor/choreographer Taavon Gamble has been part of more than a dozen productions of the Charles Dickens holiday classic “A Christmas Carol,” but serving as director for Trinity Repertory Company’s 50th anniversary presentation gave him “new appreciation for the story of redemption.” “Every time you come back to it, you bring all the experience, joy and loss you’ve had since the last time. Suddenly, there’s new weight to a character – you understand Cratchit or Scrooge better,” says Gamble, who played Fezziwig and the Ghost of Christmas Present in Trinity’s 2025 production. Gamble started finding his way with the upcoming production almost a year ago, eager to spin a joyful, traditional version that harks back to the story’s Victorian origins while still speaking to audiences today. “I wanted it to be traditional, with Dickens’ text,” he says. Every element of the show, which runs through Dec. 31, “has got to be getting Scrooge to redemption. If it’s not, it’s got to go.” For this, he tapped storytelling in its many forms – using “great choral moments and energetic choreography” that looks deeper at subtle storylines. In the Christmas Eve party at Fezziwig’s warehouse, for example, Gamble hints that Scrooge’s love story

RI elementary schools should include World Languages: Letters

Elementary students should be introduced to World Languages What if children in Rhode Island had the opportunity to start learning another language in kindergarten instead of waiting until middle or high school? As someone who speaks Spanish and Portuguese, has a Master's degree in World Language Education, and is a mother, I believe this is an idea worth considering. First, I want to recognize the hard work of our schools, teachers and administrators. My intention is not to criticize what schools are doing, but to share an idea that could create opportunities for our students. In many schools, students begin learning a world language in middle or high school. I wonder what would happen if we introduced languages much earlier, starting in elementary school. My interest in this topic also comes from my family experience. Spanish and Portuguese were spoken in our home when my son was growing up. However, much of his exposure outside the home was in English. He watched television in English, listened to music in English and experienced English in many parts of his daily life. When he started school, his teachers initially thought English was his second language. Watching him grow up surrounded by three
