WOW Hall hosts mix of shows
volunteers are an
important part of the
downtown performance
hall’s success
By Peter Breaden

For a mix of entertainment that
all ages can enjoy, students may
turn their attention from the
liquor store on 8th Avenue to a
stately building down the street.
Better known by its astonishing
acronym, the Woodmen of the
World Hall has been hosting live
music and dancing since 1933.
Under the ownership of the
nonprofit organization Westside
Community Center for the Per
forming Arts, the WOW Hall is
staffed primarily by volunteers.
Although there is a paid staff of
twelve, there are more than 450
active volunteers, of which more
than half are teenagers.
This week, three African dance
sessions and one in adult tap will
try the “floating floor” of the
WOW hall. The less-than-solid
hardrock maple floor’s reputa
tion is, in fact, one of the hall’s
biggest attractions, publicist Bob
Fennessy said.
“The way the floor is con
structed, it moves, it has some
give to it," he said.
For onstage events, the patch
work performances begin the
Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. CCPA
will have a Hawaiian folk concert
featuring Bob Brozman and Led
waard Kaapana, who are both
masters of the slack key guitar
style.
