RVCC Theatre to Present Family Show Highlighting Native Hawaiian Traditions

The Theatre at Raritan Valley Community College in Branchburg will present a performance of The Pa’akai We Bring, Sunday, March 23, at 2 p.m.

The show is part of the Theatre’s Family Matinee series, designed for children and young teens and their families.

An original production, The Pa’akai We Bring introduces audiences to the importance of pa‘akai (salt) for the Native Hawaiian population. Traditionally, pa’akai is food, medicine, a sacrament, and a treasured gift. The play follows a family with multiple generations of salt farmers on Kauai, mixing ancient stories, hula dancing, live music, original songs, and plenty of audience participation. Created in partnership with the Bishop Museum and cultural elders and leaders, the production is intended for a multigenerational audience. It offers a restorative experience for all ages to enjoy together.

Tickets for The Pa’akai We Bring cost $25, $20, and $15.
