Although Kumu Kahua Theatre has a strong commitment to producing the works of local playwrights in recent years they have produced several plays pertaining to Hawai‘i that have been written by non-Hawai‘i residents. Kumu Kahua Theatre recognizes that many playwrights who have moved to the mainland, for example, may have valuable insights to offer about their local experiences. Each year, Kumu Kahua Theatre conducts a playwriting contest with three categories: <ul> <li>Plays set in Hawai`i</li> <li>Plays set in the Pacific Rim</li> <li>Plays of any topic, written by residents of Hawai`i</li> </ul> Winning playwrights receive cash prizes and are regularly offered the opportunity to see their scripts included in a future Kumu Kahua season.
