Picks of the Week 3
Punani Parade

In Berenstain Bears No Girls Allowed, Brother Bear builds a secret clubhouse and excludes Sister Bear. Sister, of course, shows up Brother by building a super sweet clubhouse all her own. In the end, both boys and girls learn to play together—which is nice—but I still love that Sister shows off her strengths in the process. Because it's nice to flex our feminine might once in a while—and on Friday night Punani Parade (yeah, you read that right—so what?) is doing just that. A show of "Sistahood... sweet, soulful, sultry harmonies guaranteed to move and groove you," this "Fearless Female Frenzy" features hostess Shea Derrick of The Freeradicals Projekt (pictured), Kelli Love and Maesyn plus DJ Sweet Beets (aka Christina Boyden) on the decks. Then on Monday, local theater maven Lehua Simon directs her original one-act Girl In Tree as a free, ONO! (one night only) production at the historic Iao Theater. "It's basically a hippie chic fair," Simon says. Entertainment rounds out with performances by a belly dancing troupe and lady musicians singing eco-conscious tunes, as well as women's clothing and jewelry trunk shows plus LUSH cosmetics (free goodie bags!), and much more.
