Glenn Cannon, an award-winning actor and director, educator and mentor to several generations of actors in Hawaii, will be remembered with a celebration of life at 3 p.m. Saturday in Kennedy Theatre at the University of Hawaii.
Cannon was a member of the UH-Manoa faculty from 1968 until his death last month. He was also active in the local theater community as an actor and director for many years.
His television career in Hawaii included recurring character roles on the original "Hawaii Five-0" and "Magnum, P.I.," and roles on more recent shows such as "Lost."
Doors will open at 2:30 p.m. All seating will be general admission. A standing-room-only crowd is expected.
The program will be seen by many as the sequel to the celebration-roast held in his honor at Manoa Valley Theatre in 2011.
Cannon’s family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in his memory to support students in the UH theater and dance program. Make checks out to "UH Foundation" with the notation "Glenn Cannon Fund," and mail to the University of Hawaii Foundation, P.O. Box 11270, Honolulu, HI 96828-0270.
For more information about the show or to make a donation in Cannon’s name, contact the Department of Theatre and Dance at 956-7677.
