MEDIA RELEASE

Born in 1906, from the early days of flight, to the Mars Mission Rover landing, Saramae Landers has seen modern history in the making and Big Island residents can honor her in a journey through time celebrating 107 incredible years of aloha.

Lander’s 107th birthday will be marked Wednesday, April 10 with a magnificent celebration at the Palace Theater.

Leilehua Yuen, the theater’s award winning storyteller, will make full use of the theater’s perfect acoustics in sharing ancient tales and chants, bringing them to life without amplification.

Manu Josiah, Leilehua’s husband and longtime companion, will share the stage playing traditional and modern Hawaiian musical instruments.

The Palace Theater’s vintage pipe-organ will be brought to life under the hands of Rick Mazurowski, hearkening back to the days of silent movies.

The public is invited to attend the Palace Theater celebration.

Sen. Russell Ruderman said, “I want to congratulate Saramae Landers and wish her continued inspirational longevity. This is a celebration of someone that is loved and greatly admired. With her recent accomplishments and new hobbies, she has a busier social life than I do. Happy 107th birthday.”

Tickets to the Palace Theater event are available at the box office, tickets are $5, and keiki are free.

Palace Theater Box Office hours are 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday – Friday (except holidays).
