Open auditions will be held to cast the historical drama, Wild Birds by Eric Anderson. The show will be directed by Harry Wong III and runs November 2 through December 3, 2017.
Amos and Juliette Cooke had the best intentions. In 1839 Honolulu, the couple was deeply honored to be chosen to personally oversee the education of the children of the kings and queens of Hawai‘i. But how does one enforce rigorous discipline on a sacred ali‘i child and when is education a form of imperialism?
There will be a free audition workshop held from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, Saturday August 20, 2017 also at Kumu Kahua Theatre. This optional workshop is an opportunity for all interested to work with the script and director, and learn the best way to prepare for this audition.
The workshop is free, but space is limited. Please call 536-4222 or email
