A new year of island theater begins Friday with the Hawaii Shakespeare Festival’s nontraditional production of “Measure for Measure” opening at The Arts at Marks Garage, and KOA presenting “Collective Rage,” the conflicts of five women named Betty.
Michael O’Brien and Tim Tubbs, familiar faces from Scarborough’s local theatre shows, make their first stage appearance together when they team up for My Fair Lady.
Despite a faltering start, the production at the Opera House managed to hit its stride midway through Act One, and a vocally impressive cast was able to tap into the built-in strengths of the Lerner and Loewe classic.
