Remember the “Reading Rainbow” theme song? Of course you do: “Butterfly in the sky / I can go twice as high / Take a look / It’s in a book / A reading rainbow.” Now try getting that out of your head. 

Seacoast resident Dennis Neil Kleinman composed that memorable tune, which opened the PBS children’s show for some 25 years. Kleinman will perform a benefit show for the Arts in Reach program in New Castle on Sunday, June 5, where he promises to sing and play piano while joking and interacting with the audience.

Arts in Reach provides arts and mentoring programs for teen girls on the Seacoast. A $25 donation at the show will help support these programs.

Also a documentarian who has produced work for the History Channel, National Geographic and the Discovery Channel, Kleinman recently made a documentary about four teens who participated in Arts in Reach, and has conducted songwriting workshops for the program.

The event begins at 4 p.m. on June 5 at the Horgan home at 133 Little Harbor Road in New Castle. RSVP at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 603-433-4278. For more information, visit www.artsinreach.org.
