The cast of 42 Maui youth are led by returning Camp Director Kristi Scott, of GreatScott Productions, along with Music Director Vania Jerome, Assistant Director Francis Tau'a, Choreographer Felicia Chernicki-Wulf, Set Designer Caro Walker, Stage Manager Victoria Navarro, and Lynda Timm, Costumier.

Adapted from the blockbuster film and Broadway hit, this musical is a junior version, suitable for all ages, and is filled with catchy music besides conveying positive life-lessons. In addition to partial funding from the County of Maui's Office of Economic Development, it was recently announced that TTM's summer production is being sponsored by the Wave of Harmony Foundation in partnership with the Gilbert & Aileen Kam Chuck Charitable Trust.
As Sinclair-Delaney noted, "This incredibly generous sponsorship is covering all summer tuition costs for this camp, our Kamp Krazy Tales, production expenses and best of all, providing free tickets for the entire community! We look forward to their sustained support in our season ahead during upcoming after-school and school-break programs. We are also very grateful to Lahaina Intermediate School for providing us with a performance venue, which was no easy task this summer."
Wave of Harmony Foundation Founder and President, Barry Kawakami added "by attending and enjoying this fantastic show, you're also supporting our mission to empower youth through performing arts education.
The public is invited to consider making a donation to "Plus One Ticket" ensuring more families can share in the joy of the performing arts." Sinclair-Delaney also shared "this is your chance to support a 100% Lahaina production featuring kids from West Maui performing in the heart of Lahaina. This year marks the 32nd summer program we've provided, and now more than ever we aim to keep providing these healthy, entertaining and educational opportunities for our families and to showcase the incredible talent of our community.
