WAIMEA — Hawaii Preparatory Academy’s Ka Makani Players will present the original musical parody of teenage surf films, a pop culture phenomenon of the 1960s, this Thursday through Sunday at the school’s Gates Performing Arts Center.

This is the Hawaiian premier of “Surf Crazy,” written and directed by David Bauman, the new drama teacher at HPA. Set designs by Jared Terpak, musical direction by Barbara Kopra, and choreography by Tani Wright Cordova all come together in this comic romp, where Russian and American cold-war attitudes collide with California surf-slacker philosophy.

Shows will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday though Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets, which are available only at the door, are $10 for adults and $5 for students.
