If you're looking to entertain the keiki during the school break with a dash of art and culture, then good news: "Line Circle Sphere" is coming to town, and it's on the house. The Honolulu Theatre for Youth (HTY) is putting on a complimentary interactive show for youngsters. This visual bonanza melds movement, shapes, and a spectrum of colors into a 35-minute escapade that's just the right length for the attention span of its 4-and-up audience—any younger and you're in for unscheduled intermissions, as reported by the Hawai‘i State Public Library.
With a hat tip to Capitol Modern and the Hawai‘i State Art Museum educators, this play isn't just a random fusion of hues and sounds, it's an immersive experience designed to press all the right buttons on a child's delight-o-meter with the thrill of colors and shapes coming alive—sans the need for 3-D glasses. The performances are scattered across Kaua‘i, Moloka‘i, and Lānaʻi libraries where they're serving up culture without the side of cost, but don't forget, if your kid's still mastering the art of sitting still, you're their plus-one.
Here's where you can catch the kinetic spectacle: Moloka‘i Public Library will get the ball rolling on Monday, October 6 at 3:30 p.m., followed by Lānaʻi Public and School Library joining the art party on Tuesday, October 7 at 1 p.m. Ending the week with a creative punch, Waimea Public Library invites you to dive in on Friday, October 10, at 1 p.m., and for those fashionably late to the party, Hanapēpē Public Library is your final call on the same day at 3 p.m. This escapade into the imagination is brought to you by the Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i, in cahoots with the Hawaiʻi State Foundation on Culture and the Arts and the Hawaiʻi State Department of Health for extra good vibes. If you want to inspire young minds or just keep the kids busy for under an hour, this is the perfect option—and it’s free.
