The ARTS at Marks Garage - JULY 2018 Update
The ARTS at Marks Garage
The Shakespeare Festival comes back for another summer this month! That is one of the longest-running festivals in Chinatown and we're really grateful to have it at The ARTS at Marks Garage. We love seeing the community come to enjoy some of the finest and most innovative theatrical work you can find on this island. We hope you plan to see all three productions this year, and please come in early to enjoy a glass of wine or beer and share some time in our gallery with your friends before the show.
We're beginning our summer fund drive this month as well. For now, please mark your calendars to come to visit us this month and please consider supporting The ARTS at Marks Garage - your downtown Chinatown center for community arts. When you become one of our 1001 FRIENDS, there are BENEFITS! For a sustaining monthly donation of $10 per month, your 1st FirstFridaydrink is on us.
I hope to see you this Friday and throughout the month!

All's Well That Ends Well
Hawaii Shakespeare Festival
July 13, 14, 20, 21 at 7:30 PM & July 15, 22 at 3:30 PM
Helena loves Bertram, a "bright particular star" that is out of her orbit. By coming to the aid of the King, Helena wins Bertram's hand … but not his love. Shakespeare subverts, then dispenses with the traditional formula early on, and then the real fun begins--a fairy-tale-style adventure that definitely swings more toward comedy than romance.

King Lear
Hawaii Shakespeare Festival
July 27, 28,August 1, 2, 4 at 7:30 PM &July 29,August 5 at 3:30 PM
Considered one of Shakespeare's Four Great Tragedies - the story of a king as he struggles against the ravages of age, his three daughters who struggle to stand up to his increasingly erratic behavior, and a scheming villain who manipulates the people around him in order to usurp the crown for himself. Filled with moments both funny and moving, this production focuses on the danger of prizing flattery over honesty, the pain of loss, and the transformative power of forgiveness. Read More
