Experience the heartbeat of Hawaiʻi’s Okinawan community in this deeply personal, original theatrical production. Beginning in late 2024, a dedicated team hosted intimate community story circles and talk-story interviews with members of Hawaiʻi’s
Okinawan community across the islands. More than 80 local Uchinānchu elders, family members, and cultural practitioners opened their hearts to share personal histories. Playwright Lee Tonouchi skillfully weaves these exact multi-generational voices, memories, and shared truths into a singular, cohesive narrative quilt. Directed by Harry Wong III and Terri Madden, Our Okinawan ʻOhana brings stories of family, immigration, culture, humor, resilience, and belonging to the stage.
