Director's End Notes: Moana Jr.
Aloha nui loa! (Greetings of great love!)
Welcome, dear audience, to a magical journey across the vast Pacific Ocean! We set sail tonight for the mythical Polynesian island of Motunui, transported back in time 2,000 years.
As you embark on this adventure with Moana Jr., here are a few reminders: our production is presented in collaboration with Music Theatre International (MTI), and all forms of recording are strictly prohibited. Let the story unfold before you, carried by the voices and artistry of our talented cast and crew.
Our voyage will take approximately 90 minutes, with a brief intermission to refresh yourselves. During this time, delicious treats will be available for purchase in the lobby. All proceeds will support the performing arts at Norte Vista High School.
This production is a true testament to collaboration. It is a beautiful tapestry woven by the NoviArts Theater Drama Club, the esteemed Norte Vista Choir program, and the bright young stars from our district's elementary and middle schools.
In the spirit of Polynesia, it takes a village to tell a story. And tonight, you, the audience, are an integral part of that village. So settle back, open your hearts, and prepare to be swept away on a magical adventure with Moana Jr.!
May the voyagers sail strong, the spirits sing true, and the story resonate within you long after the final curtain falls.
Mahalo nui loa (Thank you very much) to our incredible cast, crew, directors, and everyone who helped bring this production to life. A hui hou! (Until we meet again!)
Mahalo and Aloha! (Thank you and go with love!)
