Breaking Wave Theatre Company (BWTC) proudly presents the staged reading Hita Mane’estoria: We Are Storytellers, a new play written by 5 CHamoru writers based in Guam and the diaspora. Inspired by interviews with elders in the writers’ families, this collection of five intergenerational stories explores stories from the lives of manåmko’ told through the perspective of their children and grandchildren. 

The staged reading of Hita Mane’estoria: We Are Storytellers will take place from October 5 thru 7 at 7pm at the UOG Fine Arts Theatre. Audiences are welcome and encouraged to stay for an audience feedback discussion following each performance, where they will be able to give feedback as well as discuss what parts of the play resonates with them.

The play Hita Mane’estoria is a result of BWTC’s Oral Storytelling Project, which began in 2022 and included a series of workshops for writers to develop stories from their elders into stage plays. One of the project’s main goals was to be able to create work for and by the indigenous community of Guam, inspired by the island’s manåmko’ and history of oral storytelling. 

Tickets for the show will be cash only at the door. General Admission is $10.00 and Family Admission is $20.00. UOG STUDENT Admission is Free.

In the musical, Stellaluna the bat, Verdi the snake and Pinduli the hyena all seek refreshment at a watering hole one hot day, only to be bullied by a lion. Through sharing stories with each other about building self-confidence, the three animals find wisdom, peace and friendship.
