The Punahou Variety Show returned to the stage during Carnival weekend as the Class of 2026 presented this year’s production, “Where the Wild ’26ers Are.”
A decades-old Carnival tradition, the Variety Show showcased the talents and creativity of the senior class. Students led the production not only as performers, but also as writers, choreographers, designers and set builders, making the show a true student-driven effort.
This year’s storyline followed high school students on their capstone trip as they navigated the “dangers of the jungle,” encountering deserted islands, mysterious figures and survival challenges that tested their character and resilience.
The performances drew enthusiastic audiences and added to the vibrant spirit of Punahou Carnival 2026.
It’s not too late to watch our Senior Class of 2026 in this year’s Variety Show: “Where the Wild ’26ers Are.” On-demand viewing available through Sunday, March 1.
