Aiea High School senior, Shawna Masuda, stars as the  lead character in the Army Community Theater production of "Miss Saigon".  Daughter of Darall and Lynn (Tachino '73) Masuda, Shawna plays the role of Kim, a young Vietnamese girl who falls in love with an American GI.  "It's the ultimate dream role," says Masuda, who hopes to someday pursue a career as a professional performer.  And after watching her perform, it doesn't seem like her hopes and dreams are that far away.  "Miss Saigon" is the sixth longest running show in Broadway.  It received 11 Tony Award nominations in 1991, including Best Musical, and won three.
