SPoOoOKIES!

6pm

Sandra MacLees* has been a professional storyteller since before there was such a term. She'll tell a few macabre tales from Lafcadio Hearn's "Strange Tales From Japan:"

(True Dreams, Snow Woman, and Faceless Monsters.)
 

 

 

Daniel A. Kelin, II* promises 'creatures living beyond the imagination make appearances in these stories plucked from the Pacific Islands.  Revenge is sweet and occasionally gross.' Expect a wild ride with The Ogre's Dinner and  Tasty Little Fingers.


 


Dann Seki may sound familiar to you- he's a retired DJ who's quite active in local theater, particularly at Kumu Kahua Theater. He'll share Meredith Desha's story of  Mrs. Mayashiro and The Calling Ghost. 

 

 

7pm

Alton Chung* shares I Get One Story Fo You , a collection of strange stories people in Hawaii have told him across the years (The Strange-faced Cat, The Women in White, My Half-sister's Spirit Guardians, and Haunted By The Dead). Hold ON!
 

 

 

Ed Chevy is Hawaii's finest deaf storyteller. For the 10th year he'll sign/tell an Edgar Allen Poe story. This year he brings us The Mask Of The Red Death. He also plays in  a rock band, Beethoven's Nightmare. Hold on, watch close! Interpreter not yet named.

 

Lopaka Kapanui* continues the haunted walking tour tradition (as 'Ghost Tours of Old Hawai'i) begun by his mentor Glen Grant. He also has authored two collections of local ghost lore. He'll share The Curse of the Inu Gami and Leave It Alone

 

8pm
Lyn Ford* tells spookies in a Tennessee graveyard as part of the National Storytelling Festival a week before coming to Hawaii.  Her Spookers and Haints are rooted in the African- American folktales, and her own warped imagination.

Teller

 


James McCarthy with Leslie Kline
are half of the Irish punk rock band, Doolin Rakes (saturdays at O'Tools). They'll play/tell the powerful French legend of jealousy, war and madness, and redemption,  Malagon And The Lady of Rascas. This is a big story.

 


'Tita' Kathy Collins
is the co-founder and popular afternoon drive-time DJ of the wildly eclectic, non-profit, all volunteer Mana'o Radio. She will relate some ancient tales of Madam Pele, in the local, pidgin croaking voic,e and atti'tita'tude of 'Tita'.

 


 

* Stories told to the improvised piano accompaniment of Maui's Les Adam
