Kumu Kahua Theatre Presents Lovey Lee
“Keeping it local since 1971,” Kumu Kahua Theatre is starting up its 54th season, presenting plays exploring identity, pride, and self discovery within the unique cultural context of Hawaiʻi. Lovey Lee, written by one of Hawaiʻi’s most prominent theatre artists, Moses Goods, is the first play of the new season, live on stage at the historic downtown theatre from August 22 - September 22, 2024.
Hawaiʻi in the 1970s was a time of reclamation, discovery and pride. For Lovey Lee, a young queer Hawaiian, the 70s is about finding a place where they can just be. Even with Hawaiʻi’s cultural renaissance at its peak and the sexual liberation movement booming throughout the nation, the journey of any brave pioneer is often complicated and fraught with challenges. In this coming-of-age story, Lovey finds themself journeying from their island home and back again in their search for place.
