Imagine 45 multi-ethnic adolescents coming from a district lying in the shadow of five federal housing projects and having a disproportionate amount of poverty, crime, and new immigrants with language challenges. Now imagine these adolescents rehearsing after school in the Farrington High School auditorium, home to the largest inner-city student body in Hawaii. This is the T-shirt Theatre of Kalihi founded by the Alliance for Drama Education, and they have been practicing diligently on their new play, Langston who?, a celebration of Langston Hughes' work, life, times, poetry, song and rap.
There will be two free public performances this Friday, October 30th at 7:30 and Sunday, November 1st at 4:30 at Farrington High School Auditorium, 1564 North King Street. Go check them out, support them, and be blown away by these kids from Kalihi .
awesome pictures!! Farrington didn't have much going for itself when I was in school. Awesome to see what they are offering their student body. Looks like this will be an awesome play!
Betty, it's just so touching to me to see a program developed for the kids that is such a positive influence, keeping them off the streets and doing something productive.
Thanks Erick and Les. I don't know which to credit more, the lenses or the camera . . . Canon 5D Mark II with 85mm f1.2 and 35mm f1.4 lenses (my Ben Chrisman setup). The last shot was with the 85mm at 1600 ISO, 1/80 f1.6, maybe not possible with a slower lens and noisier camera.
It has to be the camera. That is some nice clean 1600! Nikon what the hell are you doing, when are you going to start selling the D800. I like be clean like Jalna.
