Tree'd! A
student-written show to plant seeds for stewardship.
The purpose of the project is to examine ways in which an
individual student can choose to act as a secret agent on behalf
of Papa Sky and Mama Nature. Our teen-playwrights will dramatize
personal choices an island youngster can make to protect the
aina and to conserve precious resources. With a giggle, TST
students will use their "nobody-else-but-me" conviction to show
"the power of one" can make a difference.
Testimonial: "I want to commend the work
on Tree'd. I thought it was very educational and the message is
significant. The performance by the students was especially
"together," coordinated, and they seem to be enjoying themselves
(lots of positive attitudes). There was good vocal
production/projection, constant eye contact with the audience,
good dynamics of voice and movement, energetic body movement
(nice shapes to represent ideas), excellent use of props, and
realistic miming of situations. Congratulations to everyone."

Desperado! A
musical about teens and young adults desperate to lead exciting
lives but often heedless of the consequences of casual sexual
intimacy.
It's about young folks coming to grips with lives shadowed by
questions about:
• home break-up and divorce
• loneliness and exploitation
• sexual identity and sexually transmitted diseases.
• Most of all, it's about the needed life-line a caring
community can offer. |

JUST LIKE ME
–
spotlights the double-whammy of prejudice that insists you're
wrong if you don't duplicate my ethnicity, gender, social class,
birthplace, etc. Not only does it provoke violence towards
folks who aren't "human" because they aren't our clone; but it then blocks
island students from pursuing life dreams because they're afraid to leave Hawaii
+ be judged as they've judged newcomers + neighbors as "wrong" +
"inferior" if not "just like me."
