Monday June 3 & Tuesday June 4:
Leitis In Waiting.Not Rated | 72 min
Celebrate PRIDE at the Palace!
Documentary by Dean Hamer, Joe Wilson & Kumu Hina Wong-Kalu
Leitis in Waiting is a raw yet tender portrait of Joey Mataele and the Tonga leitis, an intrepid group of native transgender women fighting a rising tide of religious fundamentalism and intolerance in their South Pacific Kingdom.
Doors will open 30 minutes prior to each showing. Tickets are $8.50 General and $7.50 for Seniors & Students. Tickets available now at the Box Office and ONLINE.
Leitis in Waiting is the story of Joey Mataele and the Tonga leitis, an intrepid group of native transgender women fighting a rising tide of religious fundamentalism and intolerance in their South Pacific Kingdom.
The film follows Joey, a devout Catholic of noble descent, as she organizes an exuberant beauty pageant presided over by a princess, provides shelter and training for a young contestant rejected by her family, and spars with American-financed evangelicals threatening to resurrect colonial-era laws that criminalize the leitis’ lives. With unexpected humor and extraordinary access to the Kingdom’s royals and religious leaders, Joeys emotional journey reveals what it means to be different in a society ruled by tradition, and what it takes to be accepted without forsaking culture and tradition. Leitis in Waiting is an inside story, created by a Polynesian transgender woman who once competed, and won the crown in, Joey’s beauty pageant.
“Leitis in Waiting is a true gift to the world – mesmerizing and unflinching.” ~Jeannette Hereniko, President, Network for the Promotion of Asian Pacific Cinema

Chris Thomas King
2019-06-06 19:30 - 21:30 | McCoy Studio Theater, One Cameron Way, Kahului, HI, 96732, United States
Thursday, June 6, 2019:
Chris Thomas King. Blues Bear Hawaii is proud to present Chris Thomas King, master practitioner of traditional Delta Blues and contemporary Blues, on tour behind his new release, “Hotel Voodoo.” Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he is the son of blues musician, Tabby Thomas, and was recognized as a prodigy musician as a child. Chris turned pro while still in his teens. His debut album was very much in a traditional blues vein, but he soon found himself on a mission to prevent the blues from becoming a museum piece, becoming the first bluesman to successfully fuse hip-hop and other genres to create a new Blues for the 21st century. King was chosen by the Coen brothers to play the role of itinerant bluesman, Tommy Johnson, alongside George Clooney in the movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” King has sold over 10 million records and won numerous awards, including “Album of the Year” at both the Grammy and Country Music Awards. He took a fresh re-approach to traditional blues, even recording an album of Tommy Johnson- and Robert Johnson-inspired originals. Chris has continued to develop his second, very active career as actor and music composer or director, which earned him a Grammy for the soundtrack of the Ray Charles biopic, “Ray,” as well as a role in the HBO series Treme. “Hotel Voodoo” is King’s first studio album in five years, proving he is at the peak of his powers as a blues rock guitar tour de force on par with legendary greats Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, and Buddy Guy.
