DARRELL H. Y. LUM is co-publisher and co-editor of Bamboo Ridge, which he helped found in 1978. He is author of both prose fiction and plays. He has published two collections of short fiction, short stories and drama. Pass On, No Pass Back was awarded the Asian American Studies Book Award in 1992. His work has been widely anthologized, and frequently used in English, Speech, and Asian American Studies classes in secondary school and college classes in Hawaii, and on the mainland. Oranges Are Lucky was his first play, and has been staged three times by KKT, in 1976, 1986, and 1996. On the last occasion, Lum's most recent play, Fighting Fire, was the companion piece, commissioned by KKT. In 1982, HTY staged his children's play Magic Mango. KKT staged his first full-length play, My Home is Down the Street, in 1987. Next followed A Little Bit Like You, commissioned by HTY under a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. It was given a World Premiere by KKT, co-sponsored by HTY and Chaminade University, in 1991 and toured the following summer in a new KKT production directed by Keith Kashiwada. The play was revived in a production in Spring 2003, directed by Dann Seki. Kumu Kahua Theatre commissioned David Carradine Not Chinese in 2000. Dr. Lum received the Cades Award in 1991 and the Hawaii Award for Literature, the state's highest award for literature, in 1998. He holds a Doctorate in Education from UHM.
