Tickets on sale for 22nd Hula O Na Keiki competition
KAANAPALI – The 22nd Hula O Na Keiki, Maui’s only children’s hula competition, is set for Nov. 9-11, 2012 at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel. This weekend competition will commemorate one of Hawaii’s richest traditions, open to hula students from around the world.
Children ages 5-17 compete as soloists and as boy and girl pairs. The competition includes a judge’s interview and their hula performances in both kahiko (ancient) and ‘auana (modern) dance categories.
The students are judged on their proficiency in Hawaiian language and the appropriateness of their costume. Nearly $17,000 will be awarded in cash and prizes this year.

ProArts Inc. will stage “Driving Miss Daisy” for ten shows at the ProArts Playhouse in Kihei. When Daisy Werthan, a widowed, 72-year-old Jewish woman living in midcentury Atlanta, is deemed too old to drive, her son, Boolie, hires Hoke Coleburn, an African-American man, to serve as her chauffeur. What begins as a hostile pairing soon blossoms into a life-altering friendship. Opening night is Nov. 2, and the show plays until Nov. 18; call 463-6550 for tickets or information. The play stars Joyce Romero as Daisy and J. Marc Mance as Hoke. PHOTO BY JACK GRACE PHOTOGRAPHY.
To complement the keiki hula competition, weekend festivities at the hotel include arts and crafts from all islands, cultural and hula workshops, canoe rides by Hui O Wa’a Kaulua and Hawaiian entertainment.
