A girl of Chinese heritage reads an overseas letter while another girl looks over her shoulder.

Story based on Bette Bao Lord’s novel told with humor in Chinese and English

An immigrant girl learns to love her new homeland, with a little help from America’s favorite pastime, in the stage event In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson.

Shirley and her family start a new life in 1940s America, but she finds it to be more challenging than she expected. She’s the only person in her class who doesn’t speak English, and she worries she won’t make any friends. After discovering a love of baseball, the Brooklyn Dodgers, and Jackie Robinson, Shirley begins to feel at home.

The Honolulu Theatre for Youth’s family-friendly program is based on the award-winning novel by Bette Bao Lord and adapted for the stage by playwright Mark Branner. The story is told through humor in Chinese and English and honors the bravery and sacrifice of those who bring new perspectives to our country.

Join the SCASD Family Intervention Team (FIT) at Schlow Centre Region Library for free classes to help with the challenges of parenting.

FIT Parenting Classes

Starting on Feb. 2, five weeks of classes will take place in the library’s Downsbrough Community Room from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on Thursdays. Parents will learn strategies to build and maintain strong healthy relationships with their spouses, children, families and even colleagues. Feel free to to bring your lunch as you dive into the following units:

Weeks 1-3: Interactive experiences will bring you to a full understanding of the fundamental unifying premise of restorative practices — that people are happier, more cooperative and productive, and more likely to make positive changes in their lives when those in positions of authority do things with them rather than to them or for them.

Weeks 4-5: Circles facilitate conversation and encourage full participation to help promote truly meaningful communication. Through video, practice, and discussion, participants identify reliable methods for using circles to build community and address family behaviors and relationships. The skills that will be taught can be used in all settings and will benefit all relationships.

The units work together as a whole for the maximum benefit, but participants may choose to attend one over the other as well as both. However, because the classes in each unit build on each other, participants should begin with the initial one.

Please go to Schlow’s website to register for each week of the parenting class that you wish to attend. A flyer is available here.
