Professor Paul Cravath is taking a bow at Leeward Community College after 34 years of guiding and helping students in the theatre arts.


The man, who was such an inspiration for so many students, never took a theater course until he entered a master’s program at Tulane University in New Orleans. He had been in a few plays and “I always played old men,” he said, ruefully.


When asked to describe him in one word, his students expressed their appreciation for Cravath.

 At the theater and drama department at Leeward CC, it's all monkey business. Except, that is, when it comes to work. In conjunction with professional dance theatre company, Monkey Waterfall, students had the unique opportunity to take part in a rich performing arts experience, culminating with the on-stage performance of "Celebrity."
