Storybook Theatre of Hawaii

Aunty Nona Beamer, pictured at center close to stage, performs a skit for the Storybook Theatre of Hawaii, a recent benefit at the Bishop Museum's Atherton Halau to help raise funds for a forthcoming tour of schoois on the neighbor islands. The theatre speciaiizes in acting out children's stories based on those told to Aunty Nona as a child. Performers teach children Hawaiian words, songs and stories. Aunty Nona is a well-known Hawaiian educator, author and entertainer. The skits and the experiences they relate are a novelty in this modern television era. The Storybook Theatre may be reached at P. O. Box 11065, Honolulu, Hawaii 96828.
