If you dare ...

Leeward Community College enters the late-night theater realm with "Daredevil Blues," a one-man show written by Eric Yokomori, directed by Troy M. Apostol and starring Demetrius Guerrero.

"Daredevil," a dark comedy, premiered in September at Kumu Kahua. It consists of 11 original monologues (one new) that center on men's perspectives on love, sex, age and death, with audience interaction.

The play is for mature audiences only, and those brave enough to enter are asked to bring a towel.

Show time is 10 p.m. today at Leeward Community College lab theater (makai/diamond-head side of the building).

Admission is $5 general, a vailable an hour before the show. Half of the proceeds will benefit the college drama department.
