"Speak Your #truth."

A brief conversation with a very dear friend.

Kiki Rivera shares her thoughts when asked a simple question, "What it means to #believe in yourself?"

KIKI is a seasoned Hawaiʻi-based actress whose most recent theatrical appearances have been in Victor Rodger’s My Name is Gary Cooper, Makerita Urale’s Frangipani Perfume and Victoria N. Kneubuhl’s Holiday of Rain. KIKI’s most recent accomplishment is as a playwright for her groundbreaking stage hit called "Puzzy."

In collaboration with the award-winning New Zealand playwright Victor Rodger, Puzzy gives voice to the Pacific Island lesbian experience which is virtually invisible in Pacific Theater.

"The lesbian voice in Pacific Theatre is virtually non-existent. By creating Puzzy, Kiki is breaking important new territory in Pacific Theatre and repping hard for a part of the Pacific Theatre Community who deserve to be heard, seen and reflected on stage" --Victor Rodger, "My Name is Gary Cooper."

Puzzy made its world premiere at the Auckland PRIDE Festival in Auckland, New Zealand in February 2016.

Now Puzzy is showing her island home of Oahu, Hawai'i at the Kumu Kahua Theatre until April 30, 2017.
