March 26 – April 26, 2026 | Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays @ 7PM, Sundays @ 2PM | Kumu Kahua Theatre (46 Merchant St Honolulu, HI 96813)

Adapted into a play by Kaya’s very own R. Zamora Linmark, Blu’s Hanging will be coming to Honolulu’s Kumu Kahua Theatre this March and April! The production opens March 26 and closes April 26—so get your tickets before they sell out, and (re)visit the original, inspiring text here!

From Kumu Kahua Theatre: A Hansen’s Disease survivor begins to lose his grip on reality as he mourns the death of his wife, while struggling to provide for his three children in an environment of economic dearth, educational lack, and sexual predation. The eldest child, Ivah, is offered a lifeline when a compassionate teacher helps her apply to a private boarding school. Learning that she has been accepted, Ivah must decide whether staying, or leaving, will best allow her to care for her father and siblings.
