On the Scene John Berger |
Compelling Production: Reb Beau Allen talked between scenes with audience members Danel Verdugo and Taurie Kinoshita during a private performance of "The Rape of Lucrece" at Ward's Rafters on Sunday. The ugliness of rape and the tragedy of obsessive desire has rarely been presented more powerfully on the local stage. Jennifer Robideau touched the heart as sweet Lucrece. Allen was excellent as Tarquin -- a noble soldier overcome by lust.
Party At The Ocean Club: Laka Carpenter juggled for LoviAnn Domingo, left, and Brenda Picerno as they enjoyed Russell Tanoue's Piranha Room party at the Ocean Club on Saturday.
Piranha Room Goes "Ibiza": Ari Green, left, Sondra Barker, Malia Song and Jane Woo enjoyed the Piranha Room action in the VIP area. The party was the second in Tanoue's "Seven Wonders of the World" series, and in keeping with the "Ibiza" theme, Ocean Club general manager Beau Mohr kept the club open until 6 a.m.
"Congratulations, Dan!": Russell Tanoue, left, talked with Ocean Club manager Dan Punch in the VIP area. The Ocean Club was voted "Hawaii's Best Nightclub" in the "Hawaii's Best 2004" poll, andTanoue will hold his annual birthday party and charity fund-raiser gala there on July 10.
"Tropic Moon" In The Aftenoon: Mark Yim, left, and the men of his Blue Hawaiian Band celebrated with Noenoelani Zuttermeister Lewis and her great-grandniece, Keoho Bryant, after the final performance of "Under a Tropic Moon" at the Hawaii Theatre on Sunday. Bryant was one of the youngest dancers in the show.
