On Friday, March 15, 2024, CJS held a lunch mixer at the Tokioka Room for graduate students, faculty, and staff. Attendees were in for a special treat after lunch: Dr. Julie Iezzi, Professor of Theatre and CJS faculty member, and her student, Jane Traynor, Ph.D. candidate in Asian Theatre, led everyone to the East-West Center Gallery where they gave a special tour of the Kabuki in Hawai‘i: Connections through Time and Space exhibition. We highly recommend you go see it!
Learn more about the Kabuki in Hawai‘i exhibit on the East-West Center website.
Open from January 28, 2024 – May 5, 2024.

This popular Kabuki play is coming to Manoa this April, in-time to celebrate 100 years of Kabuki in English at UH Mānoa.
