Kumu Kahua Theatre is a community theater located in the city of Honolulu on the island of O'ahu in the state of Hawai'i. Kumu Kahua Theatre is best known for producing plays by local Hawaiʻi-based playwrights, especially plays featuring themes and stories of the people of Hawaiʻi. (Their motto, as seen on their T-shirts and Web site, is "Plays about life in Hawaiʻi. Plays byHawaiʻi's playwrights. Plays for Hawaiʻi's people.") Therefore actors are often featured utilizing their natural local dialect or respective ethnic accent, and many plays have incorporated or are solely written in Hawaiʻi Creole English, an English dialect commonly known in the Hawaiian islands as pidgin. Their productions are also known for involving local actors, designers, directors, and theater technicians.
