I'm A Bright Kid Foundation (IABK) is proud to present the renowned Broadway musical GYPSY, at Paliku Theatre located at Windward Community College from August 8 to 24, 2025. Curtain time for the evening shows is 7:30 p.m. with weekend matinee at 4:00 p.m. The creative team behind Gypsy includes Ahnya Chang (director and choreographer), Clarke Bright (music director), Omnia Nova (costume designer), Janine Myers (lighting designer), and Deanne Kennedy (set designer).

Returning to the role of Rose is Jacquelyn Holland-Wright, a seasoned stage actress, celebrated Las Vegas headliner, and proud Hawaiʻi local. A graduate of James B. Castle High School, Holland-Wright was among the original "Bright Kids" making her stage debut as young Gretl in The Sound of Music under the mentorship of the legendary Ron Bright in 1977. In 1987, Bright cast Holland-Wright as Rose in Castle’s beloved production of Gypsy. After a series of leading roles, she went on to star as Donna with the Broadway cast of Mamma Mia! during its Las Vegas residency at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, bringing the full Broadway experience to the West Coast.

Gypsy tells the story of Rose, a determined stage Mother who pushes her daughters, June and Louise, into the world of vaudeville and, later, burlesque. The musical explores themes of ambition, fame, and the complexities of mother-daughter relationships against the backdrop of early 20th-century American entertainment. A celebrated score by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim includes hit songs like "Everything's Coming Up Roses" and "Let Me Entertain You." Tickets on sale at iabk.org.

About the Show
Prepare to be dazzled by world-class entertainer and expert in sleight-of-hand magic, Maui’s own David Kuraya. David is one of six elite magicians– and the only magician from Maui– who performed regularly at the renowned Warren & Annabelle’s Magic Nightclub in Lahaina before the fires. A deeply community-oriented performer, David, carries on the legacy of that beautiful show with the blessing of his longtime friend and mentor Warren. At each show, he donates parts of his proceeds to local charities.
Sometimes he features special guest performers!

More About David
David also entertains corporate groups and colleges throughout Hawaii and the United States mainland. He was the strolling magician for Tony Robbins’ “Connect to My Essence” seminar on Maui, resident magician at Mana Kai Resort, and headlining performer at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood. David regularly entertains at private events for politicians, TV stars, and businessmen, such as the founder of Ellie Mae Inc., Sig Anderman, who said of David’s show, “I have worked with many magicians, but David is just THE BEST, as good as it gets, a ten out of ten.” Clients know they get more than magic when they book David Kuraya. His curated routines are original, clean, and personalized for each group. The message of David’s show is, “When we come together, amazing things happen.” The magic does not come from a colorful box or magic wand but through the whole audience’s teamwork. The result is a unique bonding experience that will leave a lasting effect long after the show. See you at showtime!
