Beginning in Hawaii during 1957 and ending in 1978, this comedy centers around three young me and their female counterparts, examining what happens to friendship when time and distance have their way.  But more importantly, what happens when someone moves away and can no longer relate to "home."  East West Players 1988 production of STEW RICE was one of the most successful in the theatre's history.  STEW RICE is a co-production with Kenneth T. Takemoto.
