Kimo loves acting, and he’s good at it. He dedicates himself to his craft, auditions relentlessly — he’ll do whatever it takes. But he’s always too brown, or not brown enough, or just…not enough. How many times can one play “the waiter?” Set in 1980s Honolulu, Kimo the Waiter follows a man in love with a dream of a world where everything is within reach.

“Kimo the Waiter is a hilarious and moving look into the world of an actor. Cataluna shows the frustrations and raucous truths of what actors experience,” said Kinoshita.

The cast includes Alakaʻi Cunningham as Kimo (seen in Oriental Faddah and Son at Palikū Theatre), Stuart Featheran (featured in The Wind and the Reckoning film), and Kirstyn Trombetta (most recently seen in Haoleland at Kumu Kahua Theatre).
