2024/25 Kumu Kahua Theatre season 

• Lovey Lee. WRITTEN BY MOSES GOODS. AUGUST 22 – SEPTEMBER 22, 2024. Hawaiʻi in the 1970s was a time of reclamation, discovery and pride. For Lovey Lee, a young queer Hawaiian, the 70s is about finding a place where they can just be.
• Kimo the Waiter. WRITTEN BY LEE CATALUNA. NOVEMBER 7 – DECEMBER 8, 2024. Kimo waits tables while pursuing his dream of acting professionally in the 1980s—but he’s always too brown, or not brown enough. Kimo’s quest is funny, frustrating and totally relatable as he tries to break free from stereotypical images of island characters.
• Southernmost. WRITTEN BY MARY LYON KAMITAKI.  JANUARY 23 – FEBRUARY 23, 2025. For former fisherman Wally Chaves, who lives with his retired wife Becky in the familiar hills of Ka’u at the southernmost tip of the Big Island, planting keiki trees for a coffee farm is giving him new life…until things start to get unstable.
• The Magic of Polly Amnesia. WRITTEN BY TONY PISCULLI. MARCH 27 – APRIL 27, 2025. Polly Amnesia—orphan, magician, punk—takes the stage for her one-woman magic show. Throughout her act, she attempts to sort hope from delusion, dreams from bullshit and true magic from trickery as she recounts her quixotic quest to solve the mystery of her own identity and the family that abandoned her. But in tonight’s performance, something is going terribly wrong…
• The Golden Gays. WRITTEN BY RYAN “OKI”NAKA. MAY 29 – JUNE 29, 2025. Aunty Maria Lani Tunta is the free, fierce, and fabulous mother to a chosen family of queens facing their golden years and ready for second chances. What does it mean for a drag queen to be in their 70s, for a sexual player to keep up his game, for a divorced man to explore being gay for the first time, for a widower to date again? This script was inspired by the groundbreaking show: The Golden Girls.
