Excited to announce our next show…

Somebody Famous by D.M. Larson

A ditzy kleptomaniac, a scandalous movie star and a bumbling guard are just some of the crazy characters you'll meet in this laugh out loud comedy. When five female prisoners are sent to clean up a broken down theatre and partake in a little drama therapy - interesting things are bound to happen.

Open Auditions: Jul 6&7 6-8pm
Shows: Aug 28 7:00pm, Aug 29&30 2:30pm

And equally thrilled that this show will support our friends at Ka’u Ohana Athletics (kauohanaathletics.org) in their mission to bring free sports programs to our Ka’u keiki.

Part of our mission here at Ka’u Performing Arts Society is to encourage youth interest in community theatre, whether that be appearing on stage, helping out behind the scenes or just enjoying a show from the audience.

We are thrilled that Aloha Theatre shares in that mission. And we’re thankful that many of Ka’u’s talented teens are able to participate in the Aloha Teen Theatre (ATT) education program.

Those teens and many others have been working hard putting together a hilarious production of Clue. Their hard work culminates this weekend as Clue comes to the stage for just 3 days.

We encourage everyone to see the show, and by using code GETACLUE you get $10 off all tickets.

Do you hear that? It's your last chance to buy Clue tickets calling! This weekend our Aloha Teen Theatre production takes the stage and we couldn't be more excited.

Tickets at alohatheatre.com In collaboration with Ka'u Performing Arts Ka'ū Performing Arts Society we invite you to use code GETACLUE for $10 off, while supplies last!

In the last days of radio, silence is murder. It’s 1952 and mystery is afoot during the live broadcast of the Buck Brick Show at KDED radio. The owner is about to make a decision that could mean the end of the station and the careers of everyone involved. When a body is discovered, they find that dead air is something everyone will pay for. Even with a killer on the loose, the show must go on.

The KHPES Drama Club will present this whodunit in classic radio show fashion. Admission is free, so come be part of the live studio audience where you’ll have a chance to help solve the mystery and win prizes.

But if you cannot make it to the show, hope is not lost. You can still experience the nostalgia of yesteryear entertainment as Ka’u Radio (KAUH-LP 104.7 FM) will be broadcasting the Saturday performance live.

With the Kona storms, Spring break and busy schedules all around, it took us a bit to finally connect with the KHPES Drama Club.

Our sincerest thanks go out again to the Ka’u community for your support of our production of Little Women. Thanks to your generosity. we were able to present the KHPES Drama Club with a check for $1200. That money will go a long way in helping them bring some exciting productions to the KHPES stage.

That’s a wrap!

Our production of Little Women was a great success, all thanks to our community. Thank you Ka’u for coming out and supporting this (mostly) young cast as they delivered a wonderful rendition of this classic.

And by supporting Little Women, you also delivered some greatly appreciated support for the KHPES Drama Club. Stay tuned for our next post as we present the collected proceeds to the drama club.

And be sure to tune in early in June when we announce our next show.

Opens tonight!

Only three chances to see this wonderful classic on our rural Ka’u stage. Come support our (almost) all-teen cast featuring a virtual who’s who of Ka’u’s talented youth as they bring this story and its beloved characters to life. And you will be supporting KHPES Drama Club at the same time.

All tickets at the door. Doors open 30 minutes before show time.

Hungry for some hilarity? From crazy customers to screwy staff, this farcical play is sure to satisfy your craving for fast food fun.

Come support our keiki as the KHPES Drama Club delivers some uproarious food for thought.

We at KPAS want to make it even easier for families in our community to attend, so we will be sponsoring a limited number of keiki tickets for this production. For each performance, the first 20 keiki attendees (with parent or guardian also attending) will get to see the show for free.

Happy New Year Ka’u!

Just a reminder that we will be hosting auditions for Little Women next week.

We will be meeting in the classroom downstairs at the Ocean View Community Center.

We will have sessions on both Monday and Tuesday, but you only need to attend one session. No previous acting experience is necessary and no special audition preparation is required.

Not interested in being on stage, but interested in helping out with the show? We will be looking for assistance in all backstage show aspects (lights, sound, stage hands, etc.), so stop by one of the audition sessions and we’ll get you signed up.

Auditions are just over a month away, so mark your calendars. We would love for you to join us and help bring this classic to life.

All ages welcome, and no previous acting experience is required.
