WAILUKU--Maui OnStage's Education and Youth Program's fall production of Snow Angel featuring an all-teen cast and crew opens Friday, Sept. 27, and runs through October 6.
When a record-breaking blizzard hits Deerpoint, Vermont, a mysterious girl named Eva emerges from a snowbank and into the lives of 15 confused teenagers who are asked to help her in her search.
Told through journal entries and interactions among the students over the course of a single snow day, Snow Angel is a funny and eerie tale of teen angst, discovery, and the power of believing. Just how much is real, and where's the line between fiction and reality?
Written by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award (Kimberly Akimbo) winning playwright, lyricist and screenwriter David Lindsay-Abaire.
Snow Angel is co-directed by Tina Kailiponi and Francis Tau'a.
Co-Director Francis Tau'a explains, "I think the greatest pleasure in working with this age group is their fearlessness. Watching their eagerness to explore is humbling."
"Theater is meant to teach empathy and to walk in someone else's shoes. This show encompasses that" says Co-Director Tina Kailiponi.
"Not everyone who wants to be involved in theater wants to be on stage," says Amy Lord, Maui OnStage Production Manager and Technical Director. "Providing opportunities for interested teens to have hands-on technical theater experience is something we are very serious about."
