Humu Kahua Theatre Presents HOUSE LIGHTS & PROLONGED SUNLIGHT, 1/14-2/14

Humu Kahua Theatre presents House Lights & Prolonged Sunglight, by Eric Yokomori, running January 14 through February 14.

In a one-act play (House Lights) and six short plays (under one title, Prolonged Sunlight), playwright Eric Yokomori explores the human condition via dramatic surrealism and theater of the absurd. Intense aberrant behavior is the norm as characters confront one another in strange situations. In one of the short plays, Joey tells Crystal that he possesses a magic rock into which he has placed all of his love, and no one can take it away from him. Crystal finds her own rock, and the battle begins. In another, an author attempts to convince a children's book publisher to buy his x-rated manuscript. In another, a bizarre cocaine deal goes bad. In House Lights, Saul Peacock, an actor whose credits are merely those of a perennial extra ("It's the hardest role to play, really. You never draw attention to yourself."), is invited to dinner at the dysfunctional Roget household and gives them all a lesson in the difference between illusion and reality.

Tickets range in price from $5-$13 and can be purchased via honoluluboxoffice.tix.com.
