# Event Details - **Event Name**: Constellations, a play by Nick Payne - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 08 Feb, 2026 at 02:30 pm – Sun, 08 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: Hilo Community Players brings ‘Constellations’ to the Keawe Theater ahead of Valentine’s Day Hilo audiences are invited to ponder love, choice and the infinite possibilities of human connection as Hilo Community Players presents Constellations, an Olivier Award–winning play by British playwright Nick Payne, opening just in time for Valentine’s Day. Running Jan. 30 through Feb. 8 at the Keawe Theater, Constellations is a smart, intimate two-person play that blends big ideas — including quantum multiverse theory — with deeply personal storytelling. The result is a romantic, often funny and ultimately moving exploration of how small choices can radically alter the course of a relationship. The play centers on Roland, a beekeeper, and Marianne, a quantum physicist, whose relationship is shown across multiple parallel realities. In each version of events, subtle shifts in timing, tone or decision lead to different outcomes, allowing audiences to witness the many ways love might begin, falter, deepen or end. Directed by Dr. Rachel Klein, the production stars two well-known local performers: Danny Randerson as Roland and Molly McGivern as Marianne. With only two actors onstage, the play relies on precise performances and emotional nuance, creating an experience that is both intellectually engaging and quietly powerful. Randerson, a Hilo-based actor with a Master of Fine Arts in Acting from the University of Hawai‘i, has appeared in recent musical theater productions including Avenue Q, Shrek and The Wizard of Oz at Hilo Palace Theater. His training spans classical and contemporary theater, as well as intensive study of the Meisner Technique in New York. McGivern brings extensive stage and screen experience to the role of Marianne. Her stage credits include leading roles in Evita, The Sound of Music and Steel Magnolias, while her screen work includes appearances on Lost and the most recent Indiana Jones film. Local audiences may also recognize her from Hilo Community Players’ recent production of The Rocky Horror Show, where she appeared as Dr. Scott. Performances take place at the air-conditioned Keawe Theater, located at 280 Keawe St. Doors open 30 minutes prior to showtime. Tickets are $20 in advance, available online at hiloplayers.org, with prices increasing by $5 at the door. Constellations is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service. For tickets and additional information, visit www.hiloplayers.org. The production offers a timely and thoughtful theatrical experience — one that asks audiences to consider not just how love happens, but how many different ways it might have happened instead. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/hilo/constellations-a-play-by-nick-payne/200029640319022 - **Event Categories**: art, theatre, workshops, entertainment, performances, valentines-day, rocky-horror-picture-show, live-music, fine-arts, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 4 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Hilo - **state**: HI - **country**: United States - **location**: 280 Keawe St., Hilo, HI, United States, Hawaii 96720 - **lat**: 19.72333 - **long**: -155.0867 - **full address**: 280 Keawe St., Hilo, HI, United States, Hawaii 96720 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Constellations, a play by Nick Payne - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/a9e80d4381aad20b74fb8980e6bae36839383e3abbe182f81a151eb93cee46e6-rimg-w1200-h600-dc102040-gmir?v=1770595641 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Constellations, a play by Nick Payne being held? - **A:** Constellations, a play by Nick Payne takes place on Sun, 08 Feb, 2026 at 02:30 pm to Sun, 08 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm at 280 Keawe St., Hilo, HI, United States, Hawaii 96720. - **Q**: Who is organizing Constellations, a play by Nick Payne? - **A:** Constellations, a play by Nick Payne is organized by Hilo Community Players. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
