Hawaii Shakespeare Festival Load in! Midway through the process of transforming The ARTS at Marks Garage into an intimate, 80-seat, in-the-round theatre.
Hawaii Shakespeare Festival
Falstaff, the scene-stealing rogue from "Henry IV, parts 1 & 2," is one of Shakespeare's greatest comic inventions, and "The Merry Wives of Windsor" (probably the closest Shakespeare ever got to writing an episode of "I Love Lucy") was supposedly written at the specific request of Queen Elizabeth who wanted to see "Fal...staff in love." Traditionally, Shakespeare's plays were performed with an all-male cast. But tradition be damned! We're doing it with an all-male cast because it's funnier that way ... Directed by Tony Pisculli and starring Shawn Thomsen and Chris Riel as the titular "Wives," Jeremy Dowd as Falstaff and Stephen Mead as Ford, with David Albert, Reb Allen, Jerry Altwies, Troy Apostol, Brian Devera, Jim Hesse, Spencer Moon, Ryan Sueoka and Ryan Wuestewald. Featuring original, live music from Damned Spot Drums.

Hawaii Shakespeare Festival
Pericles: Prince of Tyre" is a romp of a play about the title character's search for a wife (whom he finds, then loses) and, later, his daughter (whom he loses, then finds). Along the way, there is a shipwreck, pirates, a kidnapping, treacherous monarchs, a pageant of (Greek) knights, a sleazy brothel, and an eccentric... wizard. Pericles has long held a reputation as one of Shakespeare's hidden gems. Directed by R. Kevin Doyle and starring "Q" as Pericles, Julia Nakamoto as Marina and Eden-Lee Murray as Gower with Todd Aquino-Michaels, Nick Atiburcio, Belle Baxley, Jennifer Bonilla, Jacob Friedheim, Bronzen Hahn, Daniel James Kunkel, Jordan Matayoshi, Alexander Nichols, Lisa Nilsen, Leigh Sholler, D. Tafai Silipa, Ryan Stanfield, Andy Valencia and Joshua Weldon.

Hawaii Shakespeare Festival
Richard II, heir to an ancient line of kings, rules England with a decadent arrogance. When his rebel cousin Henry Bolingbroke lays claim to the throne, Richard must come face to face with his own weaknesses. In this lyrical and rarely-performed play, Shakespeare confronts questions about the nature of power that still... haunt us today. Directed by Harry Wong III and starring Katherine Aumer Ryan as King Richard and Elizabeth Wolfe as Henry Bolingbroke with Lauren Ballesteros, Amy Edwards, Michelle Hurtubise, Stephanie Kuroda, Aerrin Liddell, Dagny Looper, Claire Mosteller, Jacquie Mosteller, Aya Ohara, Jenna Leigh Saito, Peggy Anne Siegmund, Laurie Tanoura, Danielle Vivarttas-Ahrnsbrak and Kathryn Xian.
