Driven by a half-remembered dream of frogs, Jessiee is headed for Maui, looking to escape her troubles. Meanwhile, a conversation with a falling star leads young Kahekili to the water, searching for a wave that he can ride into a better life. When they find each other on a beach under the mahina, their two lives begin to intertwine, but the truth beyond the breakers might just swallow them both. A surreal, expressive journey, NO MORE SAD THINGS uses music and sly humor to tell a story of two wanderers finding new paths together.
The production team for NO MORE SAD THINGS includes: William Boles (scenic/props designer), Izumi Inaba (costume designer), Diane Fairchild (lighting designer), Chris LaPorte* (sound designer), Eva Breneman (dialect coach), Claire Redfield (assistant director/dramaturg), Ben Dawson* (production manager), Chad Hain (technical director) and Elyse Estes (stage manager).
