About the Event
Back by popular demand! Join us for a special encore screening of Hui Mo‘olelo: Lāhainā — a beloved collection of animated short films that honor Lāhainā’s history, culture, and enduring sense of place.
Premiered in February 2025, these films emerged from the Hui Mo‘olelo: Lāhainā storytelling program — a partnership among the County of Maui, Hale Hōʻikeʻike at the Bailey House / Maui Historical Society, Maui Public Art Corps, and the Lahaina Restoration Foundation. Led by Kalapana Kollars and Anuhea Yagi, the program paired intergenerational storytellers to record personal memories rooted in Lāhainā. The resulting films share the voices of Jennifer Freeland and her father Haines Burt Freeland, Louis Garcia III and Kaliko Storer, Teva Medeiros and his grandfather Timothy Medeiros Sr., Coach Earle Kukahiko, Abraham “Snake” Ah Hee and Myrna Ah Hee, Reverend Gensho Hara and his daughter Yayoi Hara, Sally Ann Delos Reyes and Lopaka White, and Theo Morrison of the Lahaina Restoration Foundation.
This reprise event invites our community to continue sharing memories and hopes for Lāhainā as we reflect together on its past and future. Please RSVP HERE.

Friday, November 28, 2025Starts at 7:30pm

About the Show
Prepare to be dazzled by world-class entertainer and expert in sleight-of-hand magic, Maui’s own David Kuraya. David is one of six elite magicians– and the only magician from Maui– who performed regularly at the renowned Warren & Annabelle’s Magic Nightclub in Lahaina before the fires. A deeply community-oriented performer, David, carries on the legacy of that beautiful show with the blessing of his longtime friend and mentor Warren. At each show, he donates parts of his proceeds to local charities.
Other upcoming dates in the Series coming soon! Featuring special guest performers!

More About David
David also entertains corporate groups and colleges throughout Hawaii and the United States mainland. He was the strolling magician for Tony Robbins’ “Connect to My Essence” seminar on Maui, resident magician at Mana Kai Resort, and headlining performer at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood. David regularly entertains at private events for politicians, TV stars, and businessmen, such as the founder of Ellie Mae Inc., Sig Anderman, who said of David’s show, “I have worked with many magicians, but David is just THE BEST, as good as it gets, a ten out of ten.” Clients know they get more than magic when they book David Kuraya. His curated routines are original, clean, and personalized for each group. The message of David’s show is, “When we come together, amazing things happen.” The magic does not come from a colorful box or magic wand but through the whole audience’s teamwork. The result is a unique bonding experience that will leave a lasting effect long after the show. See you at showtime!

We are among the small number of Americans who can walk the same beaches, paddle the same waters, and hunt the same lands our ancestors did centuries ago. The Quinault Indian Nation (QIN) consists of descendants of the Quinault, Queets, Quileute, Hoh, Chehalis, Chinook, and Cowlitz people.
To this day, we fish, hunt and gather from the same lands as our ancestors. Through millenia, plants have provided food, medicine, materials, and spiritual sustenance for our people. The western red cedar, the tree of life, provided logs for canoes, bark for clothing, split boards for houses, and more. We are the Canoe People, the people of the cedar tree.
We remember our past while employing modern principles in a unity that will bring hope and promise to our people now and in the future.

Witness the play that inspired the Oscar-winning film and captured the hearts of millions.
In Chinquapin, Louisiana everybody who is anybody gets their hair done at Truvy’s beauty shop—where the air is thick with clouds of hairspray and witty banter. Over the buzz of blow dryers, six Southern spitfires gather each week to gossip and support each other, come rain or shine. But those bonds are tested when the ladies face a life-changing event.
Both hilarious and deeply moving, Steel Magnolias is “a show that everyone should see.” – Star Tribune
