The Hawaii Theatre Young Actors’ Ensemble
- the talented troupe of high school actors from across O`ahu - delivers this delicious comic romp as courtiers hide out in the forest of Arden. Noble young lady Rosalind loves Orlando. To observe him without his knowing it, she disguises herself as the boy, Ganymede, and launches all kinds of not-so-courtly mayhem while teaching Orlando the finer points of how to woo his lady (herself!) In the meantime, Phebe, an importunate shepherdess, falls in love with the beautiful Ganymede, much to the distress of Silvius, the simple shepherd who adores her. The comic subplots turn and twist, ultimately resolving just “As You Like It.”

PUNCHBOWL MUSIC FESTIVAL

Hawaii Theatre Center Discover! Series presents
THE PUNCHBOWL MUSIC FESTIVAL

April, 2011

In sweet music is such art, killing care and grief of heart...
                                                                                                - Shakespeare

In 2006, through a grant from the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture & Arts, the Hawaii Theatre Center was able to host, for the first time, the 4th Annual PUNCHBOWL MUSIC FESTIVAL. This festival brought together neighboring schools; Central Middle School, Kawananakoa Middle School, and Stevenson Middle School; together in a professional setting which allowed for comfortable attendance of family, friends, and faculty.

The PUNCHBOWL MUSIC FESTIVAL features both "Beginning" and "Concert" bands from each school as well as a Beginning and Concert "Honor Band" comprised of students from each of the schools.

In our historic professional venue, these students are afforded the opportunities of musical performance as well as social interaction with other students in a safe and professional setting. The Hawaii Theatre looks forward to once again hosting the PUNCHBOWL MUSIC FESTIVAL for its 6th Anniversary!
