Introduction

Fresh off the heals of their triumphant success with last season’s Kinolau, we are happy to welcome back Moses and Kapono in an entirely original play celebrating the Paniolo tradition.  We hope this study guide will help you connect the dynamic stories and songs in the piece with the history, social studies and cultural studies you are already engaging with in your classroom.  As always, we love hearing from you and your students and very much look forward to seeing you at the theatre.
