VOICES FROM OKINAWA by Jon Shirota

November 5 - 29, 2009; Thursdays - Saturdays 8 p.m., Sunday 2 p.m.; $5 - $16
(808) 536-4441
Kumu Kahua Theatre /46 Merchant St., Downtown Honolulu
Originally produced last year by the East West Players in Los Angeles, Voices From Okinawa tells the story of Kama Hutchins, an American of Okinawan ancestry who teaches English to local Okinawans. Kama eschews traditional ESL teaching methods to have his students relate personal stories to the class. As the tales are told, the attitudes of the young students toward the American soldiers stationed on the island shift. From his students, as well as from his shaman great-aunt, Kama learns a great deal about his own cultural heritage. Kumu Kahua Photo: Daniel Akiyama gets a 'scarecut' from Dann Seki

Tuesday-Sunday, November 10-15, 2009; various times

Hawaii Theatre Center/1130 Bethel St. The key to budget travel is to approach ahead. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is generally in the back of our thoughts. Organizing and expending our travel budget wisely is a concern for most families. Lowering spending and costs, while still delighting your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed accomplishment and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking behind protecting money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal funds is highly limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, no matter whether on a finances or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel bill!. /www.hawaiitheatre.com
Madcap physical acting, comic chaos and audience participation light up the Hawaii Theatre stage in this extraordinary show presented by Tim Bostock Productions. Created by Cirque du Soleil veteran Dimitri Bogatirev, Aga-Boom has performed on Broadway and around the world.
