He bypasses tr aditional teaching methods by having his students relate personal stories to the class. The tales reveal the students&rsquo\; conflicted attitudes t oward the American soldiers stationed on their island.\n\nWith comedy and drama\, the play takes a twist as the teacher Kama learns more about his o wn cultural heritage from his students.\n\nNote: The playwright&rsquo\;s f ather left Okinawa in 1907\, along with three brothers\, and became a pine apple grower on Maui. The brothers eventually returned to Okinawa\, but Sh irota&rsquo\;s family remained.\n\nMature Content\n\n<a href="http://www.m auiarts.org/mccoy.html" target="_blank">McCoy Studio Theater</a>\n<a href= "https://www.mauiarts.org/tickets/" target="_blank">Tickets</a>: $22\nPres how dinner by <a href="http://www.mauiarts.org/menus/20100115VoicesFromOki nawa.pdf" target="_blank">BALE Catering</a>\n<em>This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.</em> DTSTAMP:20241005T040027Z SUMMARY:Kumu Kahua Theater performs "Voices from Okinawa" by Jon Shirota URL:/en/events/2010/01/15/kumu-kahua-theater-performs-voices-from-okinawa/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
