THEATER LOVER AADLAND HONORED AT MVT | 1. Richard Aadland, center, philanthropist and supporter of theater in Hawaii, was "king for a day" on May 13 when he celebrated his 80th birthday and more than 25 years as an actor and theater "dresser" in Hawaii with a standing-room-only party at Manoa Valley Theatre. Unlike many birthday events and testimonial events, the party was not a fundraiser or charity benefit -- admission was free to his many friends and colleagues. Don Pomes, right, was the leading planner and organizer of the birthday party/variety show. Hawaii stage performer Alaura Ward, home from college for the summer, congratulated "King Richard" on his latest career milestone after the final number.
