Picks of the Week 4
Manao Radio Fundraiser
by Anuhea Yagi
January 06, 2011
Finally, Maui's very own Fringe Festival cometh (a series of special one-acts, February 4-6 at the historic Iao Theater). But every inaugural event of such magnitude needs a little booster—and, baby, this boisterous benefit on Saturday night is it. Plus, it's a fundraiser for beloved Mana'o Radio 91.5FM. Question: How can you go wrong? Answer: You can't. For the paltry price of a couple five dollar footlongs (R.I.P. Pukulani Terrace's Subway, BTW), you'll not only be supporting performing arts on the isle, but enjoying an impressive, intermission-less blitz of bad-ass entertainment. The list is long, so I'm gonna dish it straight: Marja Apisaloma of The New Project, singer/songwriter Joe Benedett, singer/songwriter Cyrus Clark, Kathy Collins of Mana'o fame, The Comedy Hui, belly dancer Layla Katrina, Joel Katz of Jimmy Mac & The Kool Kats, slam poet Mountain, Murray Thorne of The Celtic Tigers, The Troublemakers Trio, Randall Rospond and the Ha'iku Hillbillys (whose hustle to make this event happen is most admirable), and Visions Conservatory Dance Group. Whew! Plus, get there early for a good seat (doors open at 7:30pm) and enjoy live piano by Klaus Simmer. Pre-sale tickets available at Simmer Style (Paia), Requests (Wailuku), and the Iao Theater box office. 242-6969; mauionstage.com, manaoradio.com
