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.
