Hilo, Hawai’i is like no place else. What does it mean to grow up here, to leave, to come home? A dynamic storytelling performance devised by Erin Healani Chung, LONG WAY HOME is a personal exploration of the meaning of home and belonging here on Hawai’i Island. Featuring special guest performers and live music from the Hilo Honeys, LONG WAY HOME speaks to all of us who are lucky enough to call Hawai’i Island home – no matter if you grew here or flew here.

With generous support from the Palace Theater, Vibrant Hawai’i and One Nation/One Project, this is a FREE EVENT, but tickets must be reserved in advance. 

Erin Healani Chung, a native of Hawaiʻi Island, is an actor and multi-disciplinary storyteller.
