Welcome to IABK's 10th Anniversary Celebration! Take a look back at...

Mr. Bright loved Christmas! Each year he would fill his home with Christmas Villages by Department 56. These figurines are known for their high quality, historical accuracy and attention to detail. Sound like someone you know?

Our 10th Anniversary Celebration auction this year will feature the Dickens Village from Mr. Bright's personal collection. Some pieces are even in their original boxes with the Liberty House price tag intact.

It brought him so much joy to create these Christmas Villages and to to see the wonder in the eyes of his grandchildren and nieces and nephews— and also their adult parents.

Mahalo to Aunty Mo and the Bright 'Ohana for offering this precious piece of their family Christmas memories in support of IABK.

See you at the Celebration!! Saturday, October 10th, 5pm at The Pacific Club. Tickets at https://cur8.com/schedule/item/24380/384110?event=140854&date=384110

Timothy Bright .bright.schoolofstories teaches Workshops for Actors, July 6-10, 2026 from 6-8:30pm at Paliku Theatre.

Here's another opportunity to spend your summer with IABK!! This series of workshops is specifically for teens and/or adults looking to purely develop their muscles as an actor in a safe and educational environment. Using mainly monologues, these workshops will be aimed at strengthening the core storytelling facets of acting through script analysis, characterization, impulse and objective work, and play. These workshops are optimal for high school students or others considering auditioning for college programs/conservatories and are in need of preparatory coaching, guidance, or even in need of finding a monologue to feel confident in.
