What is the Akebono Theater like on the inside? Will this be a "Family" event? Thanks for your reply!

[Rene Siracusa]

Not sure what your definition of "family event" is. There will be alcohol on sale. There will not be any off color items or activities. However there will not be any activities for kids per se(you didn't say how old yours are), and the event starts at 7 on a school night. I can answer your question better if you provide more info.

The Akebono Theater has been renovated inside. The balcony will not be open for use. Seats are not nailed down and can be moved. Tables will be set up for the auction and sales items. There is a stage. What exactly did you want to know about what it's like inside? Again - more info from you will yield a more precise answer from me.

mahalo,
Rene

Thanks - sounds like it won't be "rowdy" (that's what I was trying to ask!)!

[Rene Siracusa]

We have had events since we began in 2009, and not a single one has been at all rowdy. We don't draw that type of energy.Hope to see you there.
