LIHU‘E — Tickets for the Department of Education Kaua‘i Performing Arts Center presentation of “Anastasia-The new Broadway Musical” are available online at www.kauaiperformingarts.org. or at the door when the production opens on Friday, April 19, with a curtain call at 7 p.m. at the Kaua‘i War Memorial Convention Hall.
“We do a school performance on Thursday,” said Carla Kirk, the KPAC coordinator at Kaua‘i High School. “The performances open to the public on Friday.”
“Anastasia” features a cast of 11 with six supporting backstage managers that have been practicing and developing since school started. The group graduated to the convention hall, last week as the curtain call draws closer.
Anastasia will play on April 19, 20 and 27 with 7 p.m. curtain calls. On April 21 and 28, the curtain rises at 2 p.m.
KPAC at Kaua‘i High School is one of 29 Hawai‘i State Department of Education Student Learning Centers, and is the only SLC on the island of Kaua‘i.
The centers are designed to expand educational opportunities for students with special talents and interests.
KPAC is not a club, but it is a course for elective credit offered to all public and charter middle and high school students on Kaua‘i.
Founded in 1986 by Arnold Meister, who has been declared a Kaua‘i Museum Living Treasure, Meister served as the KPAC director until he retired in 1999. Carla Kirk is the current KPAC coordinator following in the footsteps of other KPAC coordinators like Dennis McGraw, Rachel Laskey and Chere Ellwood.
