Breaking Wave Theatre Company is a non-profit theatre company that aims to affect positive change in our island community through theatre and the arts. They take their name from the metaphor of a wave and its impact. A wave begins its journey underwater, where it travels unseen gathering power. When the wave breaks, it rises to the surface and unleashes its force. In the same way Breaking Wave seeks to break through the surface of theatre in Guam and Micronesia, and eventually push the talent and stories of this region to the rest of the world.

Recently they released the first season of the Legends of Guam Podcast Play series and also helped produce the performance “Masters of the Currents” highlighting the migration stories and hardships of Micronesians who have left their home islands to settle in Hawai’i.

The Guam Museum is proud to welcome Breaking Wave Theatre Company as our next HITA Talk. Their presentation “Storytelling on the Stage” will take place this Saturday (11/5) from 1 – 2 pm (ChST) at the Guam Museum Theater. This event is free and open to all, and the community is invited to come by and learn more about the amazing work that Breaking Wave is currently doing as well as their future plans.

The HITA in HITA Talks stands for Heritage-Ideas-Traditions-Arts Talks and is a regular education program and lecture series offered by the Guam Museum.
