Intergalactic Nemesis Live-Action Graphic Novel, Book One: Target Earth


EVENT NAME: Intergalactic Nemesis Live-Action Graphic Novel
                              Book One: Target Earth

VENUE: UHM Kennedy Theatre, 1770 East-West Rd. Honolulu, HI 96822 

EVENT TYPE: Theatre

DATES/TIMES: Saturday, January 12, 2013; 7:30pm

DESCRIPTION: When The Intergalactic Nemesis Live-Action Graphic Novel premiered in 2010, more than 2,100 people turned out. Now, in its inaugural touring season, the production hits 24 venues around the country. This one-of-a-kind all-ages show is not to be missed.

The premise is simple: a period adventure story (with no small share of laughs) featuring Pulitzer-winning reporter Molly Sloan, her intrepid assistant Timmy Mendez, and a mysterious librarian named Ben Wilcott as they face the most serious threat Earth has ever known: an impending invasion of sludge monsters from the planet Zygon.

The telling is what makes the experience of The Intergalactic Nemesis so incredibly unique: while three actors, one Foley artist, and one keyboardist perform all the voices, sound effects and music, more than 1,000 hand-drawn, full-color, hi-rez, blow-your-mind comic-book images blast from the screen, all performed LIVE. 

TICKETS: Tickets are available on line at www.etickethawaii.com, by phone at 944-2697, or visit any UH Ticket outlet (Stan Sheriff Center, Rainbowtique Store in Ward Center, and the UH Mānoa Campus Center ticket office). Service charges apply. Advance sales end at midnight the day prior to the performance. At the door sales begin 1 hour before performance begins.

Happily Eva Afta Character Profile: Dancing Princess Sandy


Name:  Dancing Princess Sandy
Name origin:  Surfer Dude, Kelli and Kaha’i
Occupation:  Dancer
Known relatives:  Sisters: Mandy, Candy, Brandi, Randi and Dawn. Cousins of Princess Lokelani and Prince Ikaika. Nieces of King Lolo and Queen Kaluna
Group affiliations:  Dance partners: Da Six Menehunes / Professional Shoemakers: Manuel and Son Shoe Repair
Education:  Fairy Tale University
Special powers or abilities:  Sparkly magic smartphones that give us powers to sing & dance!

Happily Eva Afta Actor: Jaydence Goya


What brought you to Ohia Productions?  I was asked to understudy a Dancing Princess role in Happily 2005 by the choreographer, Sonia Infante.
  
What do you enjoy the most about being in this production?  It gives me the wonderful opportunity to share the stage with some of Hawaii’s most talented performers, while being able to help bring Lisa’s work to life!

What character do you play and how much of your own personality is in that character?  I play the role of “Dancing Princess Sandy.” I would say that I do have a bit of Sandy’s fun and outgoing personality.

What's your favorite musical number in the show?  I enjoy dancing with the Menehunes in “Happy Birthday Lokelani!” but really LOVE the closing company number, “Magic of the Mind.”

Any fun behind the scenes trivia you'd like to share about the show?  There is a real family of 4 in the show. Can you guess who they are?

What do you hope the audience will take with them after seeing the show?  I hope the take away is: We are so fortunate to live in a such a special place, and it’s so wonderful to be able to celebrate the people and culture around us. And, what better way to share this than through live musical theatre!

Are you a University of Hawaii alumnus?  If so, what was your major and fondest memory of UH?  YES! BBA in Marketing. Too many memories to count, but attending FROSH Camp as an incoming Freshman – through that, I received an introduction to the amazingly talented, Lisa Matsumoto! Was also a member of the UH Cheer Team – supporting UH Athletics.  

Happily Eva Afta Character Profile: Surfer Dude


Name:  Surfer Dude
Name origin:  Well, I'm like a surfer. And I'm a dude. So like, Surfer Dude!
Occupation:  Like duh, I'm a surfer!
Known relatives:  Jeff Spicoli, Johnny Utah, and my aunt Gidget.
Group affiliations:  The Association of Surfing Professionals
Education:  UC, Santa Barbara
Special powers or abilities:  I'm pretty good at surfing.

Happily Eva Afta Actor: Daniel Kawamoto


What brought you to Ohia Productions?  I enjoy speaking in front of people, so being on stage has always been a "bucket list" type of experience for me. My friend, Nolan Hong (Prince Ikaika) had been in several Ohia Productions, and he invited me to try out!
  
What do you enjoy the most about being in this production?  The cast is absolutely fantastic. Not only is everyone amazingly talented, they're also hilarious. I didn't expect to laugh so much and to have as much fun as I'm having.

What character do you play and how much of your own personality is in that character?  I play the Surfer Dude. At first glance, it seems a far cry from the real me, but I think there are some similarities. We're both pretty laid back and don't take the world too seriously. And we both say "like" a lot.

What's your favorite musical number in the show?  Wow, this one changes from week to week. But I really enjoy Ikaika and Lokelani's duet.

Any fun behind the scenes trivia you'd like to share about the show?  I didn't have a surf board for rehearsals until the very end. So I used all sorts of objects as a stand in, including a broom, a traffic cone, and some kid's old science fair display.

What do you hope the audience will take with them after seeing the show?  I hope the audience leaves with a great, big smile on their face.

Are you a University of Hawaii alumnus?  If so, what was your major and fondest memory of UH?  Not an alum, but I do have season tickets to UH football! Go Warriors!

Happily Eva Afta Character Profile: King Lolo


Name:  King Lolo
Name origin:  Uh...I dunno.
Occupation:  I'm the King of the forest but I not one lion.
Known relatives:  Uh...get my wife Queen Kaluna. Plus I get (counting on his hand) two kids Lokelani & Ikaikai. .
Group affiliations:  I get one Sears card.
Education:  Uh.......
Special powers or abilities:  I get the power to make promises then forget what I went promise.

Happily Eva Afta Actor: Daryl Bonilla


What brought you to Ohia Productions?  I went to see "Once Upon One Time" at Diamond Head Theatre in 1996 and immediately said "That's the type of show I want to do". However anytime they had auditions I usually was already in another show or didn't know when their auditions were. Finally got to be apart of Ohia's educational road shows then got to be apart of one of their mainstage productions in 2005 with "The Adventures of Gary & Harry".
  
What do you enjoy the most about being in this production? Not to sound cliche but when you are in an Ohia show it feels more like a family reunion than a production. Like wearing comfortable clothes, it just "fits". Always such a fun experience with nothing but laughs.

What character do you play and how much of your own personality is in that character?  I play King Lolo who like me is very easy going....and very handsome :) But unlike me he isn't too smart and his memory isn't too good. He tends to forget a lot.

What's your favorite musical number in the show? I have to say my favorite musical number in the show would have to be the very operatic "A Kiss Upon Those Lovely Lips".

What do you hope the audience will take with them after seeing the show?  I hope like me it encourages aspiring young performers to keep theatre going and get their creative juices flowing. We can't do these shows forever so we gotta inspire the next generation to keep it going strong for years to come. These shows are both fun to be apart of and fun to watch.

Are you a University of Hawaii alumnus?  If so, what was your major and fondest memory of UH? I did a little theatre at UH. I was in the Cirque Du Soleil styled "The Comedy of Errors" which was a lot of fun.
