Kumu Kahua Theatre proudly presents the world premiere of Noa Helela's absurd comedy, Demigods Anonymous. The show will be directed by Harry Wong III and runs March 22-April 22, 2018.

Power is both a curse and a gift. As a modern demigod, Noe takes college courses, parties with her friends, and tries to stop herself from turning into a giant lizard. Her friend, Marcella, is dealing with her unwanted tendency to become a mountain lion; Blaine transforms into a shark when aggravated. These contemporary Kupua are like most people in their 20s... except for their ability to manifest ancient demigod powers and transform into animals...

This production contains adult language and themes.

The play runs: Thursday, Friday & Saturday 8pm: March 22, 23, 24, 29, 30, 31; April 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21

Sundays 2pm: March 25; April 8, 15, 22* (No show Easter Sunday, April 1)

*American Sign Language Interpretation upon request

Following the performance on Friday, March 30th there will be a free talk story. These talk stories are offered on the 2nd Friday of each production run and include an opportunity to gain behind the scenes insight from the director, cast and playwright (when available).
