Everyday Heroes of Hawai‘i at Palikū Theatre

The Hawai‘i Conservatory of Performing Arts at Windward Community College presents Everyday Heroes of Hawai‘i, November 6–15 at Palik Theatre.

Directed by Taurie Kinoshita, the production features emerging student performers in seven original scenes inspired by real-life heroes and acts of courage. Featuring works by local playwrights, the stories range from humor and action to drama.

Among the stories is Reuben at Ruby Ridges, written by HCPA alumnus Kekoa A. Shope, which addresses recent issues involving immigration enforcement. Luke Manning’s Paradise Mall is inspired by security guards who helped save a life. Other works by Kinoshita and Tony Pisculli draw inspiration from Private First Class Antony Kaho‘ohanohano and a teacher who stood up against discrimination at a local preparatory school.

Performances are November 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m., and November 8 and 15 at 3 p.m.

Recommended for audiences ages 14 and older due to staged violence, strong language and mature themes.
