For the New Grads, Have Some Fun

Friday Nights at the Underground

Congratulations, high school is over. Now, for some of you 18- and-over teens, a more adult world opens up. Yes, there’s college around the corner, finding or keeping that entry-level type of job, and/or leaving the “nest,” and breaking away from this rock. However, before embarking on a lifetime of work and “adult life,” why not enjoy these last days of an unencumbered youth? The Underground: Hawaii’s only teen nightclub in Lahaina keeps teens entertained and safe. Events are alcohol and drug free.

Friday nights are for the ladies, as they get in free before 9:00 p.m. (door open at 8:00 p.m.), and roses are given to the first 30 girls. There are prize giveaways throughout the night as DjBlast spins through the night. On Saturday Nxt Lvl Dj’s entertain and keep bodies moving all night.

If summer is looking a little boring, keep yourself – and possibly others – entertained. Out that closet entertainer in you, and get up onstage. The Underground is having a talent search, and may be looking for you! If you dance, sing, rap, have a band, act or want to perform stand up comedy, sign up to try out and compete at [email protected]. Mentoring is possible and prizes are a definite.

Comedian Curtis "Chino" LaForge

These talent shows will be hosted by Maui comedian Curtis “Chino” LaForge, beginning June 3. The Underground is located at 744 Front Street in Lahaina. Call 1-800-694-0842 for more details.
