Showcasing selected scenes spanning the breadth of Edward Sakamoto’s career and guided by a variety of directors, this performance will stand as a testament to Sakamoto’s contribution to the local and world-wide theatre community. His plays uniquely feature stories from and about Hawai’i from a specifically Japanese-American point of view, depicting the highs and lows, the struggles and celebrations, and highlighting how culturally diverse the Hawaiian archipelago has become.
