Join cultural historian Danny “Kaniela” Akaka and friends for an evening of stories and music at the Kahilu Theatre in a fun fundraiser for the theater on Sunday, Aug. 26.

The event will start at 4 p.m., and will include a silent auction. Refreshments will be available for purchase.

As with all of Akaka’s talk-story events, his guests on stage with him that evening will be a surprise to the audience.

Cost to attend is $25 per adult and $10 per child age 10 and under. Tickets are available by calling 885-6868 or visiting the box office between 9 a.m. and noon, Monday through Friday. Early ticket buyers will be provided premier seating for the event.

This event is organized by the Kahilu Theatre Board of Directors. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward retiring the theater’s debt from the 2011-12 season.

“The board extends its thanks to the vendors who have been patient and supportive through this time,” said spokesman Bayardo Aviles.
