Waiting Game<\/em> premiere<\/h2>\n

\"waiting<\/p>\n

The student-run Late Night Theatre Company series presents the world premiere of Waiting Game<\/em>, a digital production focused on the story of a multigenerational household struggling to agree on the right decision for the family and themselves. It asks the question, “What happens to a family dynamic when the children begin to take on the role of caregivers?” The production is written by Ruth Santos<\/strong>, a Kauaʻi<\/span> native and UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa travel industry management<\/a> student; and directed by Taylor Bogan<\/strong>, a MFA<\/abbr> candidate in theatre for young audiences and acting.<\/p>\n

“Waiting Game<\/em>\u2019s goal is to ask the audience if they\u2019ve tried listening and understanding; to look from the other side,” Santos said. “Unfortunately, many families experience an ever-adapting life living with Alzheimer\u2019s. Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> has a culture where family comes first, but which family? Who comes first? I wanted to write this story to remind people that in life there are no straight answers. Let\u2019s not fight to break apart but fight to grow together. You don\u2019t have to be on the same page to do ‘what is best.’”<\/p>\n

The production will stream online February 5–6, 9:30 p.m. and February 7, 7:30 p.m. Ticket prices are $5–$10. The performance includes strong language. To purchase tickets, visit the Kennedy Theatre website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dance Gallery (a retrospective celebration)<\/em>, the program\u2019s first-ever “encore,” is a rare chance for student dancers to watch their own performances, for alumni to look back at peak moments from their time in the program, and for patrons to rewatch favorite performances or enjoy ones that they may have missed seeing live.<\/p>\n

They include selections from Shazam: Dance + Science<\/em>, Integral Bodies: a dance-theatre performance<\/em>, Dances from the Heart\/Land<\/em>; Dancing Off The Page<\/em>; Dancing Greener: Recycle, Renew, Recreate<\/em>; Taiko Drum & Dance<\/em>; Ocean\u2019s Motion<\/em>; MemoryHouse: Dreams<\/em> and more.<\/p>\n
