Featured in the 1999 Humana Festival of New American Plays, Aloha, Say the Pretty Girls is a quirky journey that follows a bunch of twenty-somethings in their quest for love and identity. Strangers, friends, lovers, and acquaintances travel the globe from Alaska to Hawaii and from New York City to Inner Borneo, exploring themes of migration, evolution, and interconnectivity. Babies, wild dogs, komodo dragons, and hula dancers abound in this hilarious play about finding your tribe in a world gone haywire.
