After last year's successful showing of "The Runaway Musubi: A Journey Through Tales", Hōʻike a Haʻi is excited to share a brand new performance, THE MANA RANGERS: Madness and Mayhem, open to our community. There will only be one public performance so don't miss it! Join us on Friday, January 16 at 6 p.m. in the William Charles Lunalilo Center.

When a bumbling band of henchmen kidnaps Hawai‘i’s wise and fearless Tūtū, the Mana Rangers, five heroes powered by the ancient Hawaiian gods, must put aside their rivalries and unite to save her. But with egos clashing, powers misfiring, and a villain plotting to steal their mana for himself, the journey becomes a hilarious, action-packed scramble across forests, lava tubes, and secret lairs. Will teamwork and aloha triumph over chaos and mayhem? Find out in this vibrant, laugh-out-loud adventure that celebrates Hawaiian culture and the power of unity: Mana Rangers: Magic & Mayhem!
Doors will open at 5:30pm. The show will run approximately 45 minutes. This is a free performance; however Food Bank donations are encouraged! Reservations will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to space availability. Recommended audience is grades K-8, though everyone is invited to come out and enjoy!
