(Honolulu, Hawaii)  We are so excited to perform our fall production of Just So Storytime . 
This play is based on three of Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories: "How the Whale Got His Throat", "The Elephant's Child", and "The Beginning of Armadillos".  All three whimsical stories are set in the, "Far off times" at the beginning of the world, and each imagines how different animals came to be the way we see them today. KHSPAC's Acting Studio will share with you the art of Story Theatre.  The actors will be “physicalizing” different animals, as well as voicing and manipulating puppets in a varying array of styles.The puppets will represent multicultural themes, including those from Chinese, Indonesia and Indian cultures.Targeted for younger audiences, but fun for all ages, Just So Storytime will be performed on Saturdays, October 26 and November 2 at 7 p.m., with 3 p.m. matinees on Sundays, October 27 and November 3.
