[DRAMA] Father Damien, born Joseph De Veuster in Belgium in 1840, is probably the most important person in the history of Kalaupapa on Molokai. Moving to the colony for Hansen's Disease patients in 1873, Father Damien immediately set out to make life better for the people slowly and miserably dying there, both by providing person to person care and by lobbying the Hawaiian government for more money and assistance. After 12 years of living closely with the patients, Father Damien contracted Hansen's Disease, which finally killed him in 1889. Now actor Vinnie Linares will bring Father Damien to life in his one-man drama Damien: The Leper Priest of Molokai. The show will benefit St. John's Church. Tickets $15, $5 for students. For more information, call 878-1484. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]
