Korean martial arts dazzles in isle shows
"JUMP," a Korean martial arts spectacle, is coming to the Hawaii Theatre for fifteen shows April 5 to 17. Tim Bostock Productions presents "JUMP," which blends a story of a Korean family skilled in martial arts with stunts and comedy. I saw a short version in Hawaii a few years ago at the SBS LPGA Championship at Turtle Bay when the cast performed a private show for the sponsors of the tournament. It was quite engaging and entertaining with nonstop action. For more information, go to www.hawaiitheatre.com or call 528-0506. Tickets are on sale for $33 to $83.
