Kupuna 'Fun with Drama' Nights
Launched in June 2023, our Kupuna Drama Nights have become a beloved tradition. In partnership with the Molokaʻi Rural Health Community Association (MRHCA), we host monthly social events for our cherished kupuna (elders). These evenings include light dinners and engaging drama activities such as games, readings, and improvisation skits. Designed to foster life skills and meaningful interaction, this program serves as a powerful antidote to isolation, celebrating and caring for our kupuna—the roots of wisdom from which our community grows.
Youth Internship Program
Our Youth Internship Program offers advanced opportunities for teens in acting, directing, and production. Participants gain hands-on experience in various aspects of theater production, including sound and light direction, makeup artistry, advertising, and performance. This program is designed to nurture their dreams of becoming animators, playwrights, artists, dancers, singers, and performers, providing valuable experience in environments rich with the skills and passions they aim to develop.
Children's Choir
Our Children's Choir provides a nurturing environment for young voices to shine. Through regular rehearsals and performances, participants develop vocal skills, musicality, and confidence. The choir performs at various community events, sharing the joy of music with audiences across Molokai.
Molokai Strings
Our Molokai Strings program introduces children to the world of musical instruments. Through hands-on instruction and ensemble play, participants learn to create melodies, understand musical concepts, and collaborate with peers, fostering a lifelong appreciation for music.
- Season Highlights: We are excited to present three major productions this year: Flight of the Mothman (Spring Musical), Law and Order: Fairy Tale Unit (Fall Play), and an addition winter play (TBD), featuring our talented students and community members. Stay tuned for announcements about specific plays, seasons, and themes.
Workshops and Camps
- Year-Round Enrichment: Our dynamic performing arts enrichment classes for keiki are held year-round. These classes are designed to ignite creativity and collaboration, offering a variety of sessions including improvisation, stand-up comedy, mime, skits, music, dance, storytelling, and more.
- Collaborative Camps: We continue to partner with neighboring islands, such as the Lanaʻi Academy of Performing Arts (LAPA), for multi-day performing arts camps. These collaborations provide opportunities for joint productions and skill-building experiences, fostering connections among young performers across islands.
