Advertiser Staff

The multimedia musical presentation "Sing for the Cure" will be presented for the first time in Hawai'i on the last weekend in October on the Big Island.

"Sing for the Cure" involves music, narration and photographs about the people whose lives have been touched by breast cancer. The show has been performed in many places on the Mainland.

The presentation by the Kona Association for the Performing Arts will feature the Kona Community Chorus and Kona Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Ken Staton. To give this presentation a community focus, it will be narrated by Big Island residents who have survived the disease or had a loved one diagnosed with breast cancer.

Auditions will be 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday at the future home of Kona Association for the Performing Arts, 75-5815 Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway, Kailua, Kona.

Acting experience is not required, and auditioners need only attend one of the two days.

To preview the narrator's script, visit the KAPA Web site. For details, call the KAPA office at (808) 329-8839.

"Sing for the Cure" will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 26 and at 3 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Aloha Theatre in Kainaliu on the Big Island.

Tickets are $35, with proceeds benefiting the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
