Interactive theatrical entertainment awaits adventurous younger children (and perhaps their parents) as Jeffrey and Deidre Harris pre­sent "The Rhelm: Trouble in Wentrus Village" in the Aloha Tower Marketplace.

A cast of six costumed characters enlists the kids’ aid in repairing the damage done to their village by a group of evil goblins and the dragon that was chasing them. Hands-on activities include repairing and activating electric circuits, weaving cloth, levitating a magic ball, sending coded messages to a neighboring village, solving riddles, panning for gold and decrypting hieroglyphics.

Some activities require critical thinking and one-on-one problem solving. Others give kids opportunities to learn how to communicate and work with others.

A one-hour "passport" to Wentrus is $14.95.

Visits do not run on a schedule or timetable. Kids receive a passport when they enter the village and can get it stamped at each of the six craftworkers’ shops. However, they’re free to spend as much time as they want anywhere in the village — creating cloth with the weaver, helping the electrician build a goblin-detector, rebuilding a ball-and-chute wall at the tinker’s shop and so on.

The kids’ time in the village also includes opportunities to do various good deeds such as writing a card to the children who live there. Each good deed is commemorated in writing on a leaf that is displayed on the Tree of Good Deeds at the edge of the village, where it will be seen by later visitors.

The Rhelm looks like it will appeal more to younger kids — age 4 through 8 — but certainly not tweens.

With that caveat, there are some cool things for young visitors to experiment with in Wentrus Village.
