Brief 1-2 sentence description of event: Join the students of Ohana Arts on a journey through the twists and turns of humanity, through fear and pain, to love and acceptance, through a series of dance numbers, monologues and skits, well known pop and musical theater hits, and original compositions. Our talented young artists' performances of numbers from "Rent, "Spring Awakening," "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," as well as pop hits by Lady Gaga, Cyndi Lauper, Christina Aguilera, and more will convey the importance of believing in our true colors, the traits we sometimes want to hide that are also the very things that make us the most unique.

Ohana Arts, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was founded in January 2010 by Jennifer Taira, pianist and clarinetist, Carolyn Taira, director of the Hongwanji Mission School Performing Theater, and Laurie Rubin, opera singer and recitalist who concertizes internationally. Having received degrees in their respective fields on the mainland, Jennifer, Carolyn, and Laurie realized the need for more exposure to the arts in Hawaii which would help foster and nurture the local talent, while building upon Hawaii's already rich culture. Their summer program was launched in 2010 with a musical theater workshop, culminating in a fully staged musical production comprised of 23 students islandwide, ages 8-18. Ohana Arts has expanded to offer two additional programs, including morning acting, dance, and voice intensives, as well as a composer-performer workshop for advanced middle and high school musicians. Over 65 students are participating in Ohana Arts programs this summer. Jennifer, Carolyn, and Laurie are joined by choreographer Liz Piccoli, who has danced with the Metropolitan Opera and Chicago Lyric Opera, acting teacher Jill Bolstridge who has directed over 50 youth theater productions in New York and beyond, and composition teachers Gordon Beeferman whose works have been performed by New York City Opera and Eighth Blackbird and Matt Love who has played with the Hawaii Symphony, and whose debut album of electronic music is soon to be released. Ohana Arts aims to inspire and engage people through high caliber educational and professional arts programs, and to cultivate an international family (Ohana) in the Pacific by promoting world friendship and peace through the universal language of the arts.
