The Hawaiʻi Opera Theatre presents a mini-opera that combines three folk tales reimagined in a South Pacific setting. The tales include Henny Penny and The Boy Who Cried Wolf woven with the Chuuk story of Needlefish and Crab.

This 45-minute performance is especially for children in kindergarten through 8th grade and includes opportunities for students to guest star as characters in the play.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required. All programs are subject to change. See a schedule of upcoming events on the HSPLS Events Calendar.
