Manoa Valley Theatre just launched a 2022 “Music & Comedy Series” with a comedy show on Jan. 26.
It’s sort of a “dark night” project, with most shows programmed during
off nights when MVT season productions are dark, but a few are scheduled on weekends.
The remaining slate:
- Feb. 14 and 15 – Ron Artis II.
- Feb. 25 and 26 – Black Voices Matter, featuring Brandon Leake.
- March 28 and 29 – Amy Hanaiali‘i.
- April 16 and 17 – Shari Lynn and Kip Wilborn.
- June 25 – Rolando Sanchez.
Showtimes will be at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. if second shows are slated, with normal seating unless pandemic protocols change. Facemasks and proof of vaccinations will be required.

The plot involves a married couple invited to a billionaire’s party aboard a yacht in Europe and they become immersed in a murder investigation. …
Obama watch
Former president Barack Obama and wife Michelle have lingered in Hawaii this month.
