Land Ho!

Two Maui public libraries will kick off their 2009 HSPLS Children’s Summer Reading Programs in June by hosting “Crossroads,” an original play for children. Admission is free.

“Crossroads,” written by Tom Althouse, and presented by Heart Tours, is a tale of two bumbling pirates and a talking parrot. The three set out on a quest with only a treasure map, enduring slippery jungles and mysterious mountains that lead to crossroads, where decisions must be made.

The Friends of the Library of Hawaii is sponsoring the 45-minute performances: suitable for children ages 3 and older, accompanied by a
parent or caregiver:

  • June 15 (Monday), 10:30 a.m. – Wailuku Public Library (251 High St.; ph. 243-5766)
  • June 19 (Friday), 10:30 a.m. – Kihei Public Library (35 Waimahaihai St.; ph. 875-6833)

Heart Tours is a local Maui full production children’s touring company. It provides original musicals with thought-provoking themes, and original songs created to inspire children.

Contact the hosting library as soon as possible if a sign language interpreter or other special accommodation is needed. For more information, please call the hosting library.
