Out Loud in the Library! at Windward Community College<\/a> presents a reading of Saving Mofo<\/em>—a new play by award-winning playwright Robert St.<\/abbr> John—on Thursday, September 14, 5:30–7 p.m. at Hale Laʻakea<\/span> Library on the Windward campus. The reading is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

Saving Mofo<\/em> explores the adventures of Rachel, a young woman with a lot to prove. Her first day at her new job comes with several surprises, but she\u2019s up for it. In fact, she shows up early to make a good first impression. But a lot can go wrong in a pet store. The business has sides to it which Rachel knows nothing about. She thought she would be handling kittens and puppies, but “Fins and Feathers” isn\u2019t that kind of store. And the lessons of the job are not the ones she expected. And neither are the animals she is expected to sell.<\/p>\n

Out Loud in the Library! is a literary and music event celebrating the rich intersection of words and music by local artists, and is meant to inspire and encourage students and community members to find their own creative voice through writing, reading, poetry, music and spoken word.<\/p>\n

Saving Mofo<\/em> will be read by actors Nicolas Logue, Daniel A. Kelin II<\/abbr>, Kevin Keaveney, Walt Gaines, Claire Edwards and others.<\/p>\n
