Hilo Hep Cats monthly swing dance event, hosted by the Elks Lodge. Every Second Saturday. Come for a quick lesson at 630pm, stay for dancing and socializing from 7-930pm.

Our Monday Night Poetry group, led by published poet Gwyn Görg, meets the second Monday of the month at 5:30 pm at the Laupāhoehoe Library. If you’d like, bring a poem you’ve written or one you love to share and discuss in a friendly, relaxed setting. It’s a great way to connect and get inspired!

Join us every Wednesday at 10:00am for a fun-filled story time! We’ll read a few simple stories, then make a craft or do an activity. Great fun for 2 – 5 year-olds and their parents or caregivers.

The 39 Steps is a parody play adapted from the 1935 film by Alfred Hitchcock, which is itself adapted from the 1915 novel by John Buchan. The original concept and production of a four-actor version of the story was written by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon, and premiered in 1996. Patrick Barlow rewrote this adaptation in 2005. The play's concept calls for the entirety of the 1935 adventure film The 39 Steps to be performed with a cast of only four. One actor plays the hero, Richard Hannay; an actress (or sometimes actor) plays the three women with whom he has romantic entanglements; and two other actors play every other character in the show, each occasionally playing multiple characters at once. Thus the film's serious spy story is given a comedic twist.
Don't miss your chance to see it at Kona's historic Aloha Theatre.
