冲绳侨民故事登上 Oahu 舞台：话剧《Our Okinawan Ohana》巡演收官、明年初赴 Maui
位于夏威夷州檀香山县的檀香山市（市县合一），位于 Hawaii 州的 Honolulu 所在的 Oahu 岛上，一部以冲绳侨民历史为题材的话剧近日收官。由 PlayBuilders of Hawaii 制作的话剧《我们的冲绳大家庭》（Our Okinawan Ohana）已结束在 Oahu 的演出，其中 10 月 17 日、18 日两场在 Windward Community College 的 Paliku Theatre 上演；主办方表示，该剧计划 2027 年初前往 Maui 岛演出。
该剧由 Hawaii 桂冠诗人 Lee A. Tonouchi 编剧。PlayBuilders 介绍，项目团队自 2024 年 11 月至 2026 年 7 月通过社区故事会搜集素材，并进行了 40 多次个人访谈，冲绳人（Uchinanchu）分享了移民、种植园生活、食物、语言与文化传统等真实经历。剧中讲述了冲绳移民在 Hawaii 遭遇的挑战，以及他们建立的成就与社区。
其中一个角色以 Hawaii News Now 记者 Jonathan Masaki 为原型，由演员 Devon Izumigawa 饰演：剧情中这位虚构记者在冲绳文化中心向社区居民提问「日裔与冲绳裔身份有何不同」，触及身份认同话题。冲绳人是 Hawaii 亚太裔社区的重要组成部分。（GSM 据 Hawaii News Now 与 PlayBuilders of Hawaii 资料整理）
Play 'Our Okinawan Ohana' Wraps Oahu Run, Bringing Okinawan Immigrant Stories to the Stage
Honolulu is a city in Honolulu County, Hawaii (a consolidated city-county). On Oahu, in Honolulu, Hawaii, a play drawn from Okinawan immigrant history has wrapped up its run. "Our Okinawan Ohana," produced by PlayBuilders of Hawaii, has finished its Oahu performances, including shows on October 17 and 18 at Paliku Theatre at Windward Community College, and is expected to head to Maui in early 2027.
The play was written by Hawaii Poet Laureate Lee A. Tonouchi. PlayBuilders says the project gathered material through community story circles from November 2024 through July 2026 and conducted more than 40 individual interviews, with Okinawans, or Uchinanchu, sharing stories of immigration, plantation life, food, language and cultural traditions. The play explores the challenges Okinawan immigrants faced in Hawaii, along with the accomplishments and communities they built.
One character was based on Hawaii News Now reporter Jonathan Masaki, portrayed by actor Devon Izumigawa, in a scene where the fictional reporter asks people at the Okinawan Community Center about the differences between Japanese and Okinawan identity. Okinawans are an important part of Hawaii's Asian Pacific community. (GSM, based on Hawaii News Now and PlayBuilders of Hawaii)
