'Lost' actors to do The Bard at HTY benefit
By Wayne Harada
The play's the thing for five "Lost" actors, who will make a rare "live" appearance — doing a Shakespearean scene — to help the Honolulu Theatre for Youth raise funds.
Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond), Michael Emerson (Ben), Jorge Garcia (Hurley), Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) and Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet) are slated to do a brief, comedic scene from "A Midsummer Night's Dream," a fall production by HTY, at the youth theater's Le Masquerade benefit, themed "The Dream," from 6 to 10 p.m. Oct. 25 at the Ko'olau Grand Ballroom of the Ko'olau Golf Club in Kane'ohe.
The gala will have an English Country Faire and Feast motif, befitting the lush and enchanting setting at the foot of the Pali cliffs. There will be other entertainment — Celtic harpist, boy soprano singers, games, magicians and other HTY actors enacting theatrical scenes.
Individual tickets are $195. Call HTY at 457-4255.
