Directed by Ron Bright, the shows start at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and
Saturdays and 4 p.m. on Sundays, through Nov. 7. The musical is based on the Mark Twain novel.
Seats are $26 for adults, $22 for people 62 and older and military, and $18 for students and children. Call 235-7433 for tickets or buy through www.eTicketHawaii.com.
Most Island men don't wear ties all that often, so it's easy to forget how to tie one on.
To get the ends to come out evenly or as close to even as possible use a standard four-in-hand knot, and start with the wide end of the tie hanging one foot lower than the narrow end. (This will only work if you are tying a high-quality full-length tie, not a $2 one from the swap meet).

"It was almost as if I was watching myself in a Hollywood B movie. The problem was that no one ever told me what the lines were, let alone the plot."
Been here so long you forgot how to do a tie?
