About Tree Moss…

Rooted deeply in the rich cultural heritage of the Hawaiian Islands, Tree Moss is a collective of playwrights dedicated to nurturing, amplifying, and showcasing the vibrant voices of Hawaiian storytellers. As a group of playwrights, we know that theater has the power to illuminate the complexities of our shared experiences, celebrate the enduring traditions of our people, and challenge our perceptions of identity and belonging.

Our mission is to nurture the creative growth of Hawaiian Playwrights to create a vibrant stage for the production of new works that embody the essence of Hawaiian culture, exploring themes of ancestry, resilience, cultural identity, and the profound connection between the people and their land.

We encourage playwrights to tell their stories with honesty, passion, and cultural authenticity, ensuring that the voices of Hawaii are heard, valued, and celebrated.

Like the tenacious tree moss that finds nourishment and resilience in the Hawaiian landscape, Tree Moss stands as a testament to the enduring strength of the Hawaiian tradition of storytelling.
