Kumu Kahua presents HALF DOZEN LONG STEM

Kumu Kahua premieres another new work by playwright, screenwriter, actor and newspaper columnist Lee Cataluna. Half Dozen Long Stem will be shown at Kumu Kahua Theatre at 46 Merchant Street, from November 4 through December 5.

Kumu Kahua Theatre is an air-conditioned, intimate 100 seat performance space; to avoid disappointment, patrons should purchase tickets in advance. Performances are at 8pm Thursday through Saturday, with a 2pm Sunday matinee. Tickets can be purchased with a credit card by calling 536-4441, or by visiting our Box Office between 11am and 3pm Monday through Friday. Ticket prices range from $16 to $5. Tickets go on sale October 18.

Having viewed life in Hawai'i through the eyes of cable television station employees on Kauai, fisherfolk on Maui, politicians on the Big Island, and workers and customers at Long's Drug Stores on Oahu, Cataluna now cultivates her distinctive brand of local humor in new soil-a Honolulu flower and lei shop. The colorful cast of characters includes Mrs. Fujiuchi, the shop owner, who doesn't like her employees to smell the flowers because she's convinced they'll lose their scents; Romell, a flamboyant delivery man who loves to read the gift cards and gossip about their contents; Nornette, a sales clerk who bursts into tears at the slightest provocation; Bertram, a customer who appears to be sending flowers to several women at the same time; and Bully, a big bruiser with a soft spot for flowers. The comic action kicks into high gear when the building owners decide to sell the building, and close down the shop.

Mid-Pacific School of the Arts Drama Instructor and director of Cataluna's Da Mayah, Ulua, and Aloha Friday R. Kevin Doyle will direct the play. The production includes set design by Angela Price, lighting by Gerry Kawaoka, and costumes by Monica and Squire Coldwell. The cast features Kumu veterans Charlotte Dias, Ron Encarnacion, Karen Hironaga, Norman M. Muñoz, Aito Steele, and new comer to the Kumu Kahua stage Danel Verdugo.

Kumu Kahua Theatre productions are being supported by the State Foundation on Culture & the Arts celebrating more than thirty years of culture & the arts in Hawai'i; the Mayor's Office of Culture & Arts, Jeremy Harris, Mayor; The Hawai'i Community Foundation; foundations, businesses & patrons.
