In celebration of the 2011 Hawaii State Public Library System (HSPLS) Fall Children's Programs, "Novel Destinations: There's the Door?," a dramatic stage presentation starring storytellers Neal Milner, Dann Seki, Nyla Fujii-Babb, and musician Jeffy Stephen Babb, will be offered at the McCully-Moiliili Public Library on Saturday, November 5 at 10:30 a.m. Admission is free.

"Novel Destinations: There's the Door?" is a humorous and poignant examination of the struggle to answer life's big questions through original stories: "Who am I?"," Why am I?", "Where am I?", and "How did I get here?" This presentation is based on the style of the storytellers' earlier Kumu Kahua shows "Growing Up Hyphened in America," and "Life Staged."

In addition to being a storyteller, Milner is an actor, playwright, and author. He has performed locally in various Shakespeare's productions. As a storyteller, Milner has performed for libraries, professional organizations, and community groups.

Storyteller Seki is also a stage and screen actor. He has appeared in numerous plays on the stages of most of the theatres in Honolulu, in many movies and television shows, and in several local commercials.

In addition to being one of Hawaii's premier storytellers, Fujii-Babb has been an actress, voice-over talent, and producer for more than 30 years. Noted for her collaborative work with other artists, she has combined storytelling with dance, theatre, music, and the visual arts.

Jeffry Stephen Babb, a wandering blues singer and balladeer, was a lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist and harmonica player for several blues bands. He will be the opening act and lead the audience in a sing-along of "oldies but goodies."

This one-hour program is suitable for ages 10 and older. It is sponsored through a grant from the Friends of the Library of Hawaii, Ko Olina Hawaii, Marriott Resorts Hawaii, HMS Host, Meadow Gold Dairies, Hansen Distribution Group, Armstrong Produce, Roberts Hawaii, DFS Hawaii, and Toshiba Business Solutions. Additional funding is provided by the University of Hawaii at Manoa Outreach College's Statewide Cultural Extension Program, and supported in part by the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts through appropriations from the Hawaii State Legislature and from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Contact the Library as soon as possible if a sign language interpreter or other special accommodation is needed.

McCully-Moiliili Public Library is located at 2211 South King Street. For more information, please call the Library at 973-1099.
