The Friends of Queen Theater hope to gather up memories tied to the theater�s 74-year history this weekend during Celebrate Kaimuki Kanakapila.
The group will be manning a �Talk Story booth,� 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, to listen to memories of gala evenings, Saturday matinees, and live performances at the Queen, such as the �Rocky Horror Show.� Storytellers are invited to talk about, or write down their remembrances tied to the venue at the corner of Waialae and Center streets.
The Friends of Queen Theater is a non-profit group working to protect the 850-seat theater�s history and return it to community use.
The theater has been designated since 2006 as one of Honolulu�s �Most Endangered Historic Sites� on a joint list by Historic Hawaii and the State Historic Preservation Division.
