"Junko," is a play that concerns a young woman en route to discover her ancestry in Japan. She is waylaid on the Hawaiian islands due to the Tohoku earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster that crippled Japan in 2011. Junko, the title character, is rough around the edges. She had been on her way to discover her ancestral home at a family reunion in Fukushima prefecture. The Tohoku earthquake and the nuclear disaster to follow makes her trip impossible. She is waylaid on the Hawaiian islands where unexpectedly she is still able to connect with her ancestry, while also soaking in the spirit of aloha.
