Our department's latest offering is the Hawaiian Theatre program, featuring classes that explore Hawaii's theatrical heritage, examine native Hawaiian performance arts, and provide instruction in both classic and modern Hawaiian acting techniques. Student productions celebrate and preserve the language, customs, stories, and cultural principles of Hawaii.
Lieikawai, the debut performance of the Hawaiian Theatre initiative, drew full houses at Kennedy Theatre. The show traveled to Hilo, Molokai, Kauai, and Aotearoa/New Zealand. In 2016, Lieikawai was selected as a highlight performance at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival.
