Mission Statement
The mission of Kumu Kahua Theatre is to provide theatrical opportunities for the expression of local community lifestyles, whether contemporary or historical; to stage locally written plays set in Hawai`i or dealing with some aspect of the Hawaiian experience of residents; to provide training and theatrical experiences for local playwrights, directors, performers and other theatrical artists; and to develop an increasingly large audience sensitive to plays and theatre pieces dealing specifically and truthfully with local subject matter.
Description
For over 40 years Kumu Kahua Theatre has been the only theatre in the world solely dedicated to bringing stories of Hawai`i's people to the script and stage. In brief, our mission is to provide the opportunity for those who participate in the Kumu Kahua experience as artists and for those who view the work we produce to develop increased knowledge, understanding and appreciation of all that is Hawai`i.
