Help Bring Apocalypse and Aloha to Life

Support local artists, community readings, and a public presentation on Oʻahu.

Every production begins with a spark.

Apocalypse and Aloha was born on Kauaʻi as an original theatrical work exploring the intersection of humanity, artificial intelligence, environmental change, and the choices that shape our future. Through the lens of family, community, and resilience, the story asks how we hold on to our values and our connections in a rapidly changing world.

At its heart, Apocalypse and Aloha asks a simple but powerful question:

Can a true love, lost and found, survive the end of the world?

What began as an idea has grown into a compelling new play that is now ready for its next major step: a staged reading on Oʻahu.

Our Goal: $2,500

This staged reading will feature seven local actors and an experienced director, bringing the latest version of the script to life before an Oʻahu audience and helping shape its future development.

Your support will help cover:

Venue expenses
Director and production costs
Script preparation and materials
Marketing and audience outreach
Technical and staging needs

Why This Matters

New plays are built through collaboration, feedback, and community support.

A staged reading allows actors, artists, and audiences to help shape a work before it reaches full production. By supporting Apocalypse and Aloha, you are helping create opportunities for Hawaiʻi artists while bringing an original Hawaiʻi-born story one step closer to the stage.

Every donation, large or small, helps move this project from the page to the stage.

Your contribution supports local artists, original storytelling, and the continued growth of Hawaiʻi's creative community.

Mahalo

By supporting Apocalypse and Aloha, you are helping a locally created project born on Kauaʻi continue its journey and reach new audiences across Hawaiʻi.

Mahalo for believing in original storytelling, local artists, and the power of live theatre.

Aloha,

Aloha Common Theatre
