Hawaiian Mission Houses Historic Site and Archives invites the public to a special evening of living history theatre on Thursday, April 23, 2026, beginning at 5:00 PM. "Navigating New Ground" brings to life four historical figures who shaped modern Hawaiʻi through their remarkable journeys - across oceans, through institutions, and between cultures.THE FOUR NAVIGATORS
The evening features four first-person performances by talented actors portraying figures whose lives exemplify different forms of navigation in life:
Stuart Featheran as Manuia - A royal court navigator who journeyed to London and moved fluidly between Hawaiian royalty and Western commercial interests, embodying the art of cultural navigation.
Adam LeFebvre as William F. Pogue - The builder of the Hana Highway, who literally created pathways enabling others’ journeys across Maui’s rugged landscape.
Albert Ueligitone as John Henry Wise - The first Native Hawaiian to play American college football, who traveled to Oberlin College for religious education and later became a pioneering Hawaiian language teacher at Kamehameha Schools and the University of Hawaiʻi, navigating the preservation of Hawaiian language through the turbulent era of overthrow and annexation.
Eden Lee Murray as Edna Allyn - The pioneering librarian who built Hawaiʻi’s unique statewide library system, creating pathways to knowledge for communities across all the Hawaiian islands.
