The Staircase

Kaimuki born and raised, graduate of Kamehameha Schools, Loyola Marymount University & USC, playwrite Noa Gardner has the honor of presenting his first play at a premier venue: South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa.

The Staircase

Mother and Son spend their evenings playing cards and retelling stories of Hawaiian legend. Better those than their own, which lurk below the surface. When Son’s former sweetheart resurfaces, both he and Mother must choose how they will embrace the future. A mysterious tale about holding on, letting go and the curious force that pulls us back home.
