THE LEFT LANE
'Ulalena D.C.-bound
Advertiser Staff and News Services
Maui's own 'Ulalena — the Cirque du Soleil-type fantasy built on Hawaiian mythological themes — will go to Washington, D.C., in December, the first time the production has traveled. The event coincides with Hawai'i coverage in the December issues of National Geographic and National Geographic Traveler.
Dec. 6 shows and a hula and craft workshop Dec. 7 are part of a National Geographic Society music and arts performance series. About 10 cast members will participate. The high-tech production with live music and eye-filling sets normally is seen at the Maui Theatre in Lahaina, and the Maui Visitors Bureau is assisting, but 'Ulalena is raising money to cover travel costs. call theater manager John Young, (808) 661-9914, to learn more.
