Hey, kids, you can be part of the show.

Honolulu Theatre for Youth's yuletide offering, " 'Twas the Night & Other Holiday Delights," will enlist the help of children in the audience to stage the play, which runs 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. Saturday and Dec. 2 and 12.

The theater will become a meeting place where playgoers, as they enter, will be welcomed and invited to sing carols. Children will be asked to be reindeer and to play percussion instruments as part of the show, said HTY spokeswoman Jennifer Marcus.

The play is an HTY original devised and directed by the company's director of drama education Daniel A. Kelin II. The show combines three holiday favorites: the classic poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," Tomie de Paola's "Merry Christmas, Strega Nona" and Eric Kimmel's "Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins."

The one-hour production is suitable for children ages 3 and older as well as adults. Tickets are $10 for adults, $7.50 for students, $5 for children ages 3-12, free (but ticket needed) for children under 3.
