\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This year Kamehameha Schools Hawai\u02bbi High School is honored to present Ka \u02bbIu O Hoku<\/em> a historical fiction work based on two plays by the late Clarence Waipa, a retired music teacher from St. Joseph School and former choir director of Hilo Seventh-day Adventist Church, First United Protestant Church, Kamehameha Schools Alumni Chorus of Hilo and Sing Out Hilo.<\/p>\n

Ka \u02bbIu O Hoku<\/em> involves two 19th century ali\u02bbi related not only through blood, but through the common fate of being both heirs to throne of the Hawaiian Kingdom but never able to reign.<\/p>\n

Act One is taken from Waipa\u2019s play Almost a King<\/em>, and examines the life of William Pitt Leleiohoku II, brother to Kal\u0101kaua and Lili\u02bbuokalani, during his early twenties. We see his romantic side through song and hula as he courts a young Margaret Rice, a non-Hawaiian.\u00a0 We meet his h\u0101nai<\/em> mother, Princess Ruth Ke\u02bbelik\u014dlani, and his royal sister, Lydia (later known as Lili\u02bbuokalani) as both try to offer him advice on becoming a King and navigating his politically challenging romance. \u00a0But Leleiohoku\u2019s joie de vivre and optimistic attitude will not be dampened by royal convention.<\/p>\n

Act Two, taken from Waipa\u2019s play Ka\u02bbiulani<\/em>, \u00a0covers the life of the princess as seen through the eyes of close friend and confidant Robert Louis Stevenson.\u00a0 We see the queen-to-be from her beginnings as a precocious child to a young woman who confronts the American government to restore her kingdom.<\/p>\n

Both lives are celebrated through mele and hula, performed in the tradition of the Kamehameha Schools Hawai\u02bbi as an all-school production involving the entire student body.\u00a0 \u00a0It will be the school\u2019s 14th H\u014d\u02bbike.<\/p>\n

Music for both plays include music of the time period by and written for the ali\u02bbi portrayed.<\/p>\n

The combined plays have been given the title Ka \u02bbIu O Hoku<\/em>, by student (and Scotland alum) Ku\u02bbuhiapo Jeong (c\/o 2018). \u00a0In English it is roughly translated\u00a0“the highest of the star\/\u00a0the\u00a0sky”. \u00a0 Both Ka\u02bbiulani and Lelei\u014dhoku were viewed as the highest and most important people at that time (when\u00a0the Hawaiian Kingdom was at the brick of annexation) as heirs to the throne. \u00a0The title also cleverly combines their two names.<\/p>\n

The plays will be presented Thursday, March 16<\/strong> and Friday, March \u00a017<\/strong> at Koai\u02bba Gymnasium, beginning at 7pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
