AT HER FEET An action/adventure/mystery film taking place on the Big Island.

Archeology students and their Hawaiian guide encounter unseen allies and a misguided protector as they risk their lives saving artifacts in the path of an erupting volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

The film was written, directed and produced by Kaua`i resident Nadya Wynd who will intro the film and lead Q&A. The film stars another Kaua`ian, Sydney Agudong (currently starring in LILO & STITCH).

Sponsored by the KCC Hawaiian Club.

The PAC Pianos

The Performing Arts Center is fortunate to have two Grand Pianos. The Steinway 9' Concert Grand and the Mason Hamlin Baby Grand. To keep them in tune, the Kauai Concert Asso turns to their good friend Mark Taylor. He is a top notch expert (and a pretty good piano player too!). Thanks Mark for all you do for KCA and the PAC.

Thanks to the efforts and generosity Oahu residents Joe Wilson & Dean Hamer, the PAC will display Le Pua `Ala, Queer Histories of Hawaii throughout Pride Month. The exhibit is free of charge and opened Mon-Fri 1pm - 4pm in the PAC Lobby.
