Submitted by Hawaii State Public Library System:
The Honolulu Theatre for Youth will present "Blue," a new stage production by Annie Cusick Wood, at 10 selected Oahu public libraries from March to May 2012. Admission is free.
Blue is happy in his blue world. Then one day "color" comes into his life and things begin to change. "Blue" is filled with lots of fun, humor and whimsy.
The show introduces the idea of tolerance and understanding in an age appropriate theatrical experience. The 45-minute performance is recommended for ages 3 and older. Preschool-age children must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver.
The program is sponsored through a grant from the Friends of the Library of Hawaii, Marriott Resorts Hawaii, Ko Olina Hawaii, HMS Host, Meadow Gold Dairies, Hansen Distribution Group, Armstrong Produce, Roberts Hawaii, DFS Hawaii, and Toshiba Business Solutions.
