'HAOLE BOY' MEETS 'THE GIRLS': Actor-playwright Mark Pinkosh talked story with "The Kailua Girls" -- Eleanor Kawananakoa, left, Alexandra Avery, Laurie Michaud and Christy Hassell -- after his opening-night performance in his new one-man show, "Haole Boy 2: Haole-er Than Thou!" at the ARTS at Marks Garage on Thursday. Several stories in the partly autobiographical play take place in Kailua and other Windward Oahu locales, and "The Girls" agreed that although they might be a few years older than Pinkosh (we didn't ask for specifics!), they'd had many of the same school experiences. "Haole Boy 2" closes this week with performances Thursday through Sunday.
