Hey, Black Child!
Hey, Black Child!
Written and Directed by Cameryn Richardson
Told through poetry, movement, and music, Hey, Black Child! is a play for young audiences about finding your voice, your people, and your place in the world. When Salem, a young Black child, moves to Oʻahu, everything feels unfamiliar until they join a writing club in hopes of making new friends. Guided by their Kumu and surrounded by clubmates whose stories literally come alive, Salem navigates joy, uncertainty, and self-discovery as the play explores how we find ourselves—not in isolation, but in relationship to others and to home.
Rooted in Black experience yet universally resonant, Hey, Black Child! is a celebration of imagination, cultural exchange, and the radical act of believing in your own voice. It is a joyful reminder that every story matters and that sometimes, discovering who you are means taking a little chance and daring to dance your own dance.
Recommended for 4th Grade and up.
Content Advisories: This production explores themes of cultural adjustment, self-discovery, and emotional uncertainty in a supportive and imaginative context.
