“Yamaguchi Store is a play written entirely in pidgin and set in Kaua’i. Written by local playwright, Shanti Noelani Reinhardt, Yamaguchi Store seamlessly braids together a family’s mo’olelo spanning 3 time periods: 1909, 1924 and 1973, as they try to ‘kala the hala’ that has been plaguing the family as it is passed down from generation to generation. Filled with quick-witted local humor that lovingly cuts to the bone, the play floats on an ocean of generational trauma and pain. Yamaguchi Store is as epic as it is intimate.”
