Seabury Hall’s student production of The Drowsy Chaperone is scheduled for five performances at the ʻAʻaliʻikūhonua Creative Arts Center on the school’s Makawao campus: evening shows Nov. 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 7 p.m., plus a Nov. 21 matinee at 2 p.m., Maui Now reports.

The musical’s frame is a fan listening to a cherished show recording and imagining its 1920s wedding story unfolding around him. Bella Hampe and Braydan Mann play the couple at the center of that story, while Peyton Prouty and Azmina Zainuddin alternate in the title role. David Ward directed and choreographed the production, with Julia Golding as vocal director, according to Maui Now.

One production within a broader arts program

The show is one part of a wider arts slate documented by the school. Seabury Hall’s Fine and Performing Arts page lists dance, hula and the Hawaiian Ensemble among its programs. Its past-performances archive also records earlier productions including The Music Man Jr. and Catch Me If You Can: The Musical. Those entries offer examples of the school’s past presentations; the archive alone does not establish how often productions are staged.

The venue is also a substantial part of the setting: Flansburgh Architects, the project architect, describes the center’s theater as a 400-seat space with theater technology systems. Seabury Hall lists a “Past/Forward” event celebrating the Creative Arts Center’s 10th anniversary, but that listing does not specify when the center opened, so it does not establish an opening date. The venue details are documented by Flansburgh Architects and the school’s anniversary event page.

Maui Now identifies The Drowsy Chaperone as a five-time Tony Award-winning musical. Its five Makawao performances bring this particular student production to the school’s arts venue this month; the broader program and archive provide context, not evidence of a trend in performance frequency.
