Mr. Don Kenny and Mr. Shichiro Ogawa were touring the US and were returning from performances and workshops in Chicago. It was our good fortune to hear that they would be in Redding, California, and would be presenting Kyogen and Celtic Harp. Since they had presented Kyogen in English for the FMF teacher group in November at the New Otani Hotel in Tokyo, it was very exciting to think they would be in Northern California on March 26, 2000.
Mr. Kenny has studied kyogen in Japan for over 30 years
He has also translated a number of plays into English and written several books on the subject..
