Oakland, CA — On Saturday, September 8, 2012, Kumu Hula (master teacher of hula) Mark Keali‘i Ho‘omalu and the Oakland-area-based Academy of Hawaiian Arts will present “A Kingdom Denied – Between the Lines,” at the Reed L. Buffington Visual & Performing Arts Center, Chabot College, in Hayward, CA.

“A Kingdom Denied” may be the first of its kind: a full-length musical theatrical presentation that blends hula with drama and a wide range of musical styles – most of the songs are in Hawaiian, while the dialogue is mostly in English. In his trademark fashion, Ho‘omalu is pushing the envelope of tradition with a work in which the costuming, dances and songs, while “keeping it Hawaiian,” evoke Broadway's Great White Way as much as Honolulu.

Set in Hawai‘i in the late 1800s, “A Kingdom Denied” traces the glamour, intrigue and politicking that characterized the last years of the Hawaiian monarchy, leading up to the eventual overthrow of the government by American business interests concerned that the balance of power would be wrenched from their hands by Hawai‘i’s last queen, Lili‘uokalani. But the real "stars" of the show are the Hawaiian-language newspapers, which at the time chronicled the build-up to the overthrow and the resulting dissent of the Hawaiian people.

All seats for this performance are reserved, and range from $25.00 to $70.00. The performance is on Saturday, September 8, 2012: doors open at 6:00 p.m., and the show begins at 7:00 p.m.

For ticket information, contact Puanani Schierenbeck at (510) 214-5400 or visit BrownPaperTickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/.
