Shark Splash at Courtland

Shark Splash Players

"It’s not too late to catch Shark Splash! A Traveling, Dancing, Book Bash. Saturday was “opening night” at Courtland Library. The SPL Players ( Diane Christensen, Tim Tomasik, Jamie Trawick, and Sally Sweeny) starred as the cast of Punia and the King of Sharks, based on an old Hawaiian folk tale. Rivkah Sass had a guest starring role as the village chief, and past Youth Services Directors Terry Chekon and Cathy Brown were guest stars, as well.

Village Chief

We really whooped it up with the interactive skit, dancing to the Hukilau, and finding lost treasure. The skit will be performed at the Galt-Marian O. Lawrence Library on June 15, North Sacramento-Hagginwood Library on July 21, and Del Paso Heights Library on July 22. The story of Punia can be found in Punia and the King of Sharks by Lee Wardlaw, and in Twenty Tellable Tales by Margaret Read MacDonald. Splash on!"
