PlayBuilders of Hawai'i
OUR 5 YEAR PLAN
Objective
PlayBuilders of Hawaii Theater Company has taken up residency in a variety of locations to serve the needs of Hawaii’s communities and has cultivated strong relationships with local theater makers, helping organizations, social workers, and educational institutions to facilitate our community work. Over the next 5 years we plan to continue to build on those relationships because we strongly believe that theater is a way for people to safely explore their lives and to help effect positive change in our communities.
