Lee Cataluna takes advantage of the unique platform of “live, digital theatre” with this tribute to 1980s Hawai‘i, framed by the clothes we wore.

Your invitation to the 80s includes the vaguely defined dresscode: ?aloha attire

What does that even mean? In this play, written specifically for online production, we will examine classic aloha attire pieces like the shorty-mu‘u, dressy slippers, gold-dipped maile leaf pendants, and the 17 ways to wrap a pareu. Let your fashion consultant take you through stories of what we wore, what it meant, and why it was so awesome.

Director R. Kevin Garcia Doyle is looking for actors to fill the following roles:

Destinee “Des”– early 20s, the narrator, present day

Ala – girl, Kini’s friend, we see her as a 4th grader and then middle-schooler

Kini – sister of Kaipo and Theresa, we see her as a 4th grader and then middle-schooler

Kaipo – middle child between Kini and Theresa, high school, quick-witted, self-assured

Alika – high school junior, nice guy but kind of thick

Kawika – high school junior, Alika’s half-brother, slightly a jerk

Theresa – high school junior

Grandma –not a very old grandma. She’s probably late 50s and athletic.

Billy – Grandma’s son, 20s, gum-chewing, thinks-he’s-cool, creepy

Also Voice of Priest

All actors should be familiar with the story. A digital copy of the script can be found?
