Love and longing in a
Honolulu flower shop

KUMU KAHU A THEATRE Danel Verdugo stars in Lee Cataluna's latest play "Half Dozen Long Stem."

Local love stories - people with and without l'amour in their lives - come to light in a Honolulu flower and lei shop in Lee Cataluna's latest Kumu Kahua production of her comedy "Half Dozen Long Stem."

Ron Encarnacion's Bully muses: "The dream is always the same. I'm lying in a bed of roses waiting, and waiting." Danel Verdugo's Nornette is flattered by a suitor's attention but tells him, "I have a boyfriend - I think."
