Actor Michael Emerson portrayed a feisty Maui the demigod, then chilled the audience as a tiny old Japanese woman innkeeper in an obake (ghost) story, with Terry O'Quinn and Daniel Dae Kim as wayward travelers.

Emerson even learned pidgin, with the help of intense coaching from Honolulu Theatre for Youth company actor BullDog.

The result: The actors from the cast of ABC-TV's "Lost" helped raise nearly $20,000 for the Honolulu Theatre for Youth, with selected readings from HTY's 2007-2008 season of plays, in a benefit that drew a packed house last Sunday at Tenney Theatre.

Spectators paid $100 to $300 for a chance to see and hear "Lost" principals — in a theatrical setting instead of a windswept beach or amid a tangle of jungle vines — and meet them at a post-show reception.
