Isles helped break Lewis telethon record
Hawaii viewers donated $350,031 to the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon on Labor Day, the Muscular Dystrophy Association of America says. The annual nationwide benefit raised a record $61 million to fight the various hereditary muscle-destroying disorders that include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, and motor neuron diseases. The telethons have raised $1.4 billion since 1966.
This play is going to the dogs
Yes, Army Community Theatre is looking for kids who can belt out "Tomorrow," but director Brad Powell is also looking for a dog that can belt out a solid "ruff!" Auditions for "Annie" take place Monday to Wednesday at Richardson Theatre, Fort Shafter. Along with dogs and kids, a ventriloquist with a Charlie McCarthy-ish dummy is needed. The play runs Nov. 16 to Dec. 2. Shari Lynn will star as Miss Hannigan. Call 438-4480.
