Kahilu Theatre KAHILU THEATRE arts • entertainment • education 2018/2019 38th PRESENTING SEASON aloha The Parker Ranch legacy is deeply embedded in the history of Hawai`i, Hawai`i Island, and the town of Waimea. When Ranch heir Richard Smart made the decision to leave his New York life behind and heed the call to head up the Ranch, he left behind a successful Broadway career. Still smitten by the arts, Smart created a 20,000 square foot theater with a full Broadway stage in the heart of town for people of all ages to experience the magic of art. He named his Theatre after his beloved mother, Thelma Kahilu onapua api`ilani Parker, and for more than 12 years he prepared productions in which he starred or directed, taking some of the works “on the road.” Audiences from Hawai`i Island, Oahu, and the mainland flocked to see Kahilu’s professional productions and a cultural treasure was born amidst rainbow dressed pasturelands, majestic volcanoes, and Ka Makani winds. Much has changed since Richard Smart gave his venue for professional theatre productions to his community. Kahilu Theatre is a flourishing multidisciplinary arts center and a hub for inspiration and connection. Kahilu is a place for both local and international performing artists who are thrilled to take our stage. We closed in our lanai to make two gallery spaces for emerging and professional visual artists. The Mike Luce Studio is an innovative Black Box performance space where Smart’s original Green Room once was. In recent years, our Theatre expanded its reach to coastal venues and schools filling an important need to expose students to quality art. A matinee film series and fresh works by Hawai`i based playwrights are also new to the Kahilu scene. Many patrons, some of whom have been in our audience since opening night in 1981, have said that Richard Smart could not have imagined the scope and impact of his original dream for Kahilu, and how proud he would be of what his Theatre has become. Our new season of Kahilu Theatre begins with the production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific alongside a gallery opening of Matt Shallenberger’s The Leaping Place with large format photographs of our island landscape. The following pages present the year ahead. We are enormously grateful to those who have said ‘yes’ to sponsor our work. With a supportive community and more than 52 shows, exhibits, musical theatre, classes and camps planned, count on vibrant and diverse arts, entertainment, and education for years to come.

  • Sherwood R.H. Greenwell, Kealakekua Ranch, Hawai`I
    Sherwood R.H. Greenwell, Kealakekua Ranch, Hawai`i When Sherwood Greenwell took over Kealakekua Ranch in 1951, he was inheriting one piece of the sprawling cattle operation his grandfather had started a hundred years before. From 1938 when he came home from high school to 1989 when he sold the ranch, Sherwood was ensconced in Kealakekua. Over the years, he kept his eye on how the ranching industry was developing, always on the lookout for a new technique that would make the process better. One of the innovations was a cattle chute that became known around Kona for its efficiency. It contained a sump to collect and reuse the insecticide that was sprayed on the cattle, a branding table, a surgical chute and a scale to weigh the heifers. Maybe its best feature was its circular design. “As one animal goes in, the animal behind it only sees it go around a corner, so he follows,” he says. “It’s a great chute for getting animals to enter.” Sherwood has been recognized as an innovator – twice he was awarded Soil Conservation Rancher of the Year for his techniques, once for developing a pumping system that brought water up more than 6,000 feet from Kealakekua Bay, and again for developing a rotation grazing system that used pastures more efficiently. Paniolo Hall of Fame Oral History Interview With Sherwood Greenwell By Anna Ilima Loomis Aug. 10, 2003; Kealakekua, Hawaii G: We’re in the land of Kiilowaipunaula, which adjoins Kealakekua, which we can say is Kealakekua. It’s a part of the original purchase by my grandfather of the lands back in 1881.

Guy Piltz, Consultant Jo Amanti Piltz, History Coordinator Collect for Saint James’ Day, July 25: Grant, O merciful God that, as thine holy Apostle Saint James, leaving his father and all that he had without delay was obedient unto the calling of thy Son Jesus Christ, and followed him; so we, forsaking all worldly and carnal affections, may be evermore ready to follow thy holy commandments, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Book of Common Prayer, 1892 KE AKUA ALAKA’ I Iā Kākou: THE LORD LEADS US. Led by God, a church is an expression of its people and their faith, and the founding of a new church is the result of the confluence of the hopes of holy people, the catalyst of a new priest, and the support of a bishop. In early 1912, all those elements joined in the village of Waimea on the Island of Hawai’i. In the wider world, 1912 was an important year. Woodrow Wilson was elected 26th President of the United States; Sun Yat Sen established the Republic of China; and the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic. On a more modest scale, in Waimea a dedicated group of Episcopalians bought a building and named their fledgling church Saint James’(see Appendix A).

  • Walter A. Slater, Parker Ranch & SC Ranch, Hawai`I
    Walter A. Slater, Parker Ranch & SC Ranch, Hawai`i A rancher’s son, Walter Slater started his career as a cowboy while he was still a teenager in New Mexico. World War II was on, and like every other town in the southwest all the cowboys had gone overseas to fight, leaving the young boys to work the cattle and keep the ranches in business. Walter spent the first part of his career managing ranches in Arizona and California. He came to Parker Ranch in 1971, when the ranch changed management. Moving to Hawaii, where cowboys are Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Filipino, Caucasian or all of the above, was a culture shock for the southwest native. The paniolo dressed, joked, and worked cattle differently from the cowboys he knew back home, and of course they talked differently too. Once an old-timer called Walter’s house and left the urgent message with his wife, Barbara, that “There are ‘pipis’ in the shopping center!” Of course, he meant pipi, or cattle, had broken loose and were wandering around town, but Barbara wasn’t familiar with the Hawaiian word. She thought he was talking about something quite different. “It kind of shocked my wife,” Walter recalls, with a knowing smile. Paniolo Hall of Fame Interview with Walter Slater Aug. 11, 2003 Waimea, Hawaii I: Maybe we can start with some background. Can you tell me the date of your birth? S: November the 13th, 1928, in the little town of Hot Springs, New Mexico that’s been changed to Truth or Consequences.
