This historic performance marks the beginning of Hawaiian Theatre at the University of Hawai’i with Tammy Haili’opua’s La’ieikawai.  Wailana is casted as actor and chanter and plays Ka’onohiokala, the Sun-God, using the aerial ring for an incredible modern interpretation of a well known mo’olelo (story).  Check out this review:http://www.hittingthestage.com/uhms-kennedy-theatre-presents-laieikawai/
