    In Southernmost, Mary Lyon Kamitaki effortlessly introduces us to a world that's both completely new and all-too familiar. This homecoming tale set in semi-rural Hawaii treats audiences to a fresh look at the family drama that is in turns heartwarming and heart-breaking; raucously hilarious and deeply emotional.

    This play in one word is: Love. Mary Kamitaki takes you on a journey to a place that is often imagined but never truly seen. She takes us straight into the beating heart of a family that is so beautiful, true and flawed it will take your breathe away.
