Hi Everyone,

Now that we are less than a month away, rehearsals will be ending later and Sunday's will be added.  We will give you breaks in between so please bring something to snack on to help you get through the long days.  Also, we will do our best to utilize everyone at all times, but bring your homework in case there is downtime and you're not being used.  It is important to keep your grades up so please be responsible.

Starting now, we need your 100% focus.  I want everyone to have fun at rehearsals, but save the outside conversations for later.  When we run something and reset, we want you to stay focused so that we can start again quickly.  Not only does it help us out, it'll help you out because you're staying in the moment.  Otherwise, we'll just be wasting valuable time and energy.  Cellphones should be put away and you should be paying attention to what's going on even if you're not being directed.  If you're not involved in a scene or number, take the initiative and grab your scene/dance/music partner(s) and run it on your own.  Let's help each other out so that we can keep moving forward.  Thank you!

Hope you're having a great weekend and I'll see you all tomorrow! ~ Michael

Hi Everyone,
We are now 5 weeks away from opening.  That's roughly 30 more rehearsal days before we have an audience.  We've reached the point where we need all of you at practice so no more new conflicts please.  Also, every minute is valuable so plan on arriving early and be ready to go at the scheduled times.  I'm not going to lie, the next several weeks will be extremely grueling, but we need your help and cooperation to make this the best show possible.  Thank you in advance and I appreciate all the hard work you have put in so far! ~ Michael

This is it!  Our final week before school starts up again.  We are almost at the halfway point of our rehearsal process.  Thanks so much for all your hard work thus far!  Please continue to stay focused and continue to explore your characters.  Now is the time to discover.  Don't be afraid to ask questions and try new things.  Just remember to be precise and everything you do must have a purpose or motivation behind it.

Again, if anyone needs additional help outside of these scheduled times to work on character, acting, or anything in general, please let me know and I'd be more than happy to find extra time for you. ~ Michael

Kaimuki High School


Performing Arts Center


Presents its annual Spring Musical




Violet




February 22nd, 23rd and March 1st, 2nd, 8th and 9th - 7:30 pm


February 24th and March 3th and 10th – 3:00 pm






Kaimuki High School Performing Arts Center loyal fans likely remember our past performances of


Pirates of  Penzance, Little Shop of  Horrors and Grease, which was our most recent and successful production to date.  This year we celebrate 26 years on the stage by presenting the Hawaiipremier of Violet!  Violet Karl of Spruce Pine, NC is about to embark on a odyssey to visit a Preacher she has seen on TV, hoping that he can heal the disfiguring facial scar she’s had since adolescence.  As she travels through the Deep South of 1964, she meets two soldiers who may be called to fight in Viet Nam, who fall in love with her, and discovers that even though the scar cannot be healed, she can still heal her soul.

Dramatic issues addressed in this show include: whether beauty is physical or internal; what it is to grow up in a place where, because of a physical disfigurement, you are considered bad; racial issues in the Civil-Rights Era South and military, as one of the soldiers is White and the other Black.


Based on the short story "The Ugliest Pilgrim" by Doris Betts, this Wizard of Oz-style quest story features music by   Jeanine Tesori, composer of "Caroline, or Change" and "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and won the 1997 New York Drama critics Circle Award for Best Musical, the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical, and the Obie Award Special Citation for Jeanine Tesori's music.

 
Our enthusiastic and talented actors, represent various public schools from Hawaii including Farrington, Kaimuki, Kalani, McKinley and Roosevelt High Schools and Jarrett and Washington Middle Schools.  They will be joined by KHSPAC alumni, all working together to produce a fantastic evening of entertainment.  Come join us!

Violet will be performed on February 22nd, 23rd and March 1st, 2nd, 8th and 9th at 7:30 pm.  Additional performances are on February 24th and March 3th and 10th at 3:00 pm.    With ID, elementary and high school students, military and seniors citizens over 65 are $6.  Adult tickets are $12. Box office opens one hour before each performance for ticket sales.  Tickets are also on line at honoluluboxoffice.com and Harry’s Music Store.


 

Kaimuki High School Theatre is located at 2705 Kaimuki Ave., between Kapahulu Ave. and Kapiolani Blvd.
