A Wotch Trainer Silver walkthrough provides players with a step-by-step guide on how to navigate through the popular Pokémon game. The game, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, follows the journey of a young Pokémon trainer as they capture and train various creatures known as Pokémon. The walkthrough begins by introducing the player to the game's storyline and the main character's objective to become a Pokémon Champion. Players are then instructed on how to choose a starter Pokémon, typically between the Grass-type Chikorita, the Fire-type Cyndaquil, and the Water-type Totodile. As the game progresses, the walkthrough guides players through different routes, towns, and cities. It provides information on where to find necessary items such as Poké Balls, Potions, and TM moves that can be taught to the captured Pokémon.

Magic Moments pays actors in a different kind of currency

The youngest members of of this year's Magic Moments revue gather Monday for their first rehearsal in their new home at Cherry Creek High School. Here they take direction from K.Q.

This year s leading men in Magic Moments' "The Child" are professional actors Daniel Langhoff, left, and Drew Frady.

In 2008, Drew Frady stepped into the leading role in the Arvada Center’s award-sweeping best musical, “Les Miserables.” In January, he was singing alongside Marvin Hamlisch and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at Boettcher Concert Hall.

Seminal artistic experiences, to be sure. But they’re no Magic Moments.

Hamlisch never drew him a picture with the words “Drew Rules Forever,” and a devil on the back.

Carolyn Smith did. The young woman will be performing in the 28th annual Magic Moments musical revue opening Thursday at Cherry Creek High School, alongside Frady and nearly 250 other disabled and able-bodied performers of all ages and walks of life.

They call Carolyn a “special needs” girl. She calls Drew, simply, “special.”

Even if he is playing the Devil in “The Child,” an original, inspirational story that explores the nature of happiness — within a cavalcade of mostly lighthearted Broadway and pop songs by artists ranging from Pink Floyd to Queen to, Rush to, gulp, Lady Gaga.

Frady is one of four castmates from that remarkable Arvada Center staging of “Les Mis” who have reunited in “The Child.” He’s joined by Kate Lubotsky, who played Young Cosette (she’s The Child here), Jimmy Bruenger, who sang “Little People,” and Daniel Langhoff, who plays a war veteran tempted with the prospect of fame by Frady’s devil.

“What can I say?” said Magic Moments director K.Q., as he is professionally known, about his raid on “Les Mis.” “I loved that show so much, I was ready to join the revolution.”

Professional actors, choreographers, musicians and artisans flock from all over town to volunteer each year for Magic Moments, which has raised more than $200,000 for local organizations that provide services to those with special needs. Alumni include Broadway’s Mara Davi and Elizabeth Welch, now playing Christine in the national tour of “Phantom of the Opera,” and local stalwarts Annie Dwyer, Nick Sugar and Leonard Barrett.

This year’s cast and crew include Regan Linton, who has won three best-actress awards for her portrayal of Aldonza in the handicapped company PHAMALy’s “The Man of La Mancha,” and highly sought musical director Donna Debreceni. This year’s “West Side Story”-inspired set is built by the Aurora Fox’s executive producer, Charles Packard.

Recurring special-needs performers like Donna Gunnison, who has Prader-Willi syndrome, and former University of Colorado football star Ed Reinhardt, who was the nation’s leading receiver in 1984 when an on-field collision put him in a coma for 62 days, have developed their own Magic Moments fan bases.

They all want to put on the best show they can, within the daunting logistics and overall parameters of Magic Moments’ mission, which is to foster an environment of acceptance, growth and learning.

Langhoff is not only new to Magic Moments, he’s a late replacement for another actor. So he joined the masses well into this year’s, well, massive rehearsal process.

He learned quickly this is not just another show.

At his first rehearsal, the stage manager ended Langhoff’s introduction by saying, “He loves hugs.” And, he now says with a laugh, “I didn’t really have the heart to correct her.”

He was a marked man.

“This is the kind of place where you can still be 5 minutes late for rehearsal, even if you show up on time, because there is a 5-minute gantlet of hugs to navigate,” he said.

The creative team, which includes up to eight choreographers, 18 costumers and 12 live musicians, work for months putting all the pieces of the show together. Lead choreographer Debbie Stark, for example, specializes in incorporating wheelchairs into several dances.

It doesn’t hurt sales to have recognizable singers and actors in the cast. When Traci Kern sings “And I Am Telling You” from “Dreamgirls,” there won’t be a more powerful musical number on any “legit” stage.

“But the reason to come see this is not to see us,” Frady said of the professional actors. “It’s for the Ed Reinhardts and the Donna Gunnisons. Everyone here is doing it strictly for the love of doing it, and to raise money for good causes.”

Frady grew up with Down syndrome in his immediate family. “So I’ve always been comfortable spending time around persons with disabilities,” he said.

Frady was initially recruited to Magic Moments as a choreographer six years ago. But the next year, K.Q. needed him to sing Bob Seger’s anthemic hippie lament, “Turn the Page.”

“So they dressed me up all punk rock, with black leather and a mohawk and black eye liner,” he said. “And you know how so many people look at the disabled out of the sides of their eyes and just don’t want to deal with them? When I walked backstage for the first time, no one recognized me — and I got a lot of that same look. Like, ‘Who is this guy?’ ‘What’s wrong with him?’ And it hit me that this is the kind of thing they deal with all the time.”

Everyone in the show somehow gets the chance to perform in at least four numbers. And inevitably, it’s the legion of mighty mites under age 8 who steal the show.

But it’s the interaction between the able-bodied and disabled actors that for 28 years has always left the deepest impression on audiences.

For members of the cast and crew, that kind of magic happens every day.

For professional actor Anita Boland, who choreographs and has a leading role in “The Child,” it can be the simple miracle of communication. Like when she was assisting with costume needs for a number that requires each performer to wear a specific kind of hat.

Zara Vargues, a motorized-wheelchair performer with limited verbal skills, had a question that Boland, a Magic Moments veteran for more than a decade, simply could not decipher. Then castmate Joel Gutierrez simply asked the young woman, “Do you want me to speak for you?”

She nodded, and within a few seconds, Gutierrez turned to Boland and, just like that, said to her, “She wants to know what color of hat?”

Boland doesn’t know how he did it.

“It’s amazing to see that kind of connection between special-needs performers,” she said. “That kind of thing happens all the time, and every time it does, it makes me want to cry.”

Frady savors this time with his Magic Moments family. Because “this is the only opportunity that a lot of them are going to get all year, not only to perform, but to get together and share time with other people that they love and care about,” he said.

He’ll get back to making a paycheck soon enough.

“You don’t need a paycheck to be good,” he said. “The people here are just good.”
