Kumu Kahua Theatre Presents THE WATCHER OF WAIPUNA by Gary Pak

Kumu Kahua Theatre proudly presents The Watcher of Waipuna by Gary Pak, directed by Harry Wong III, running March 21 - April 20, 2019.


Gilbert Sanchez is the Watcher of Waipuna, defending his tiny corner of paradise against evil commercial expansion and greedy family members. Based on Gary Pak's short story, this local fairy tale-like parable includes a chorus of housewives and supernatural elements, and cleverly examines the powerful connection between humans and the environment'loyalty to our land, connections to place, corporate development, and local displacement.

This production contains adult language and themes.

*American Sign Language Interpretation available upon request.


Following the performance on Friday, March 29th there will be a free talk story. These talk stories are offered on the 2nd Friday of each production run and offer an opportunity to gain behind-the-scenes insight from the director, cast and playwright (when available).
