At Miller Outdoor Theatre in Hermann Park. Polynesian Storytelling at Miller Outdoor Theatre! Embark on an exciting and immersive journey through the vibrant cultures of the Pacific Islands, brought to life through traditional dance, song, and storytelling. In this dynamic performance, students explore the rich heritage of Polynesia, traveling to Hawai‘i, Tahiti, Samoa, and New Zealand (Aotearoa). Audiences will experience authentic dances and chants that share history, ancestral stories, and cultural values. The rhythms of indigenous instruments – including the pahu drum, nose flute, and ukulele – fill the space, while traditional costumes and adornments showcase deep symbolism and meaning. Throughout the program, students learn core values such as respect (fa‘aaloalo), community, and a profound connection to the land and ocean. More info at www.milleroutdoortheatre.com.
