KKT has teamed up once again with Honolulu Theatre for Youth to bring you two great plays. These two plays bring the lives of two of Hawaii's most famous surfers, Eddie Aikau and Rell Sunn, on to the stage. Eddie Would Go, first produced by HTY in its 1997-98 season, features four young surfers who recount key episodes in the life of Eddie Aikau in an interactive stage show which includes the audience playing the ocean.
Rell Sunn was a pioneer in women's surfing, the first female lifeguard on the west side of O`ahu, mother, hula dancer, radio DJ, and UH graduate in cultural anthropology. Queen of Makaha dramatizes a time in her life when she was in Texas receiving chemotherapy for cancer. Her roommate, Shelley, is in her late teens and, in her adverse relationship with her mother, comes to remind Rell of her relationship with her own daughter. The two women, both dying from cancer and suffering from the debilitating effects of chemotherapy treatments, end up helping one another. Check these HTY links for more information: Eddie Would Go and Queen of Makaha.
