*The ONO series has been graciously sponsored by Russ Taft.
Hosted by Kristi Scott – our ONO Coordinator!
History of the ONO’s:
Originally the Ono’s which stands for One Night Only was called Bare Essential Theater or B.E.T.. It was a bare stage, talented actors and classic or little known scripts. Created to give actors more chances to perform and audiences a chance to see works that may not make it to full production. Our first reading was Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, after that we did Cyrano, To Kill A Mocking Bird, My Three Angels, and many more. As the program evolved it was opened up to the community to provide a space to produce their visions, or to test new works such as The Worthmores, or new groups like Free Range Comedy and the burlesque group Cabaret and Cocktails. This became the One Night Only series.
The ONO’s are offered as an opportunity for individuals, groups or organizations here in our community to present their works. Maui OnStage is not involved in the choosing of the pieces, the casting or rehearsing. In order to keep the program free-to-the-public, it is kept bare-bones with no set or costumes, no cued lighting, microphones or sound. Presenters may bring in their own set pieces or costumes, hire our lighting/sound technicians or bring and operate their own equipment, if they wish. Maui OnStage simply offers…. a stage.
As we present the ONO series in 2023, we look forward to more opportunities to LIVE Maui OnStage’s mission “to enhance our community by providing diverse performing arts experiences” by offering more diverse works, as well as showcasing new works by local writers and visionaries, as well as a place for new actors and seasoned pros to play and stretch and grow. We hope you’ll join us.
