We are excited once again to be on the campus of Windward Community College at Paliku Theatre for our summer program. IABK focuses on growing the individual creativity and performance capabilities of each student, and features small groups and one-on-one sessions in acting and vocal performance with some of the best musical theatre educators on the island. Join us for an incredible growth experience this summer. Our summer offering includes the experience of performing at Tenney Theatre on the St. Andrew’s campus for our Summer Showcase. This year, we will be featuring Honk!, Jr.
We offer an optional morning program in addition to our core afternoon experience for students grade 5-12. The morning program will feature weekly topics where students focus on a different aspect of theatre, learning from teachers that have special expertise in that field.

Ronald E. Bright was a Hawaii theatre arts educator who taught for over 40 years at James B. Castle High School. He understood intuitively the importance of theatre to education and used his theatre to inspire generations of students. The I’m A Bright Kid Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization spearheaded by his former students to continue his enduring legacy of the performing arts and education.
Our summer program seeks to recreate the unique learning environment he fostered – one that nurtured thousands of students to reach their full potential both on and off the stage.
