Hawaii Theatre Center

at 1130 Bethel St, Honolulu , 96813-2201 United States

Hawaii's premier non-profit performing arts and film venue was built in 1922, and restored by community volunteers and donors who saved the 1400-seat proscenium theatre as a community treasure. Proclaimed as the "Pride of the Pacific," the beautiful Hawaii Theatre, built by the Consolidated Amusement Company, opened its doors September 6, 1922 in downtown Honolulu. The Hawaii Theatre operated as a showplace for vaudeville, plays, musicals and silent films until it fell into disrepair and the land lease was abandoned by Consolidated in 1984. In 1986, the Hawaii Theatre Center, a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation was formed to save the Hawaii Theatre from the wrecking ball and in May 1996, the Hawaii Theatre reopened its doors as a 1400-seat, multi-purpose, state-of-the art performance center. The Hawaii Theatre was recognized as the 'Outstanding Historic Theatre in America' in 2005 by the League of Historic American Theatres and, in 2006, was awarded an Honor Award by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Description

Proclaimed as the “Pride of the Pacific,” the beautiful Hawaii Theatre has been entertaining Hawaii’s audiences for more than 90 years. From vaudevilles and plays to silent films, musicals, ballets and concerts, the theatre’s popularity has grown and continues to charm eager showgoers and curious audiences alike. We invite you to take a step back in time and experience the best of both worlds in today’s beautifully restored multi-purpose arts center. The mission of the Hawaii Theatre Center is to: 1) Own and operate the Hawaii Theatre in a fiscally responsible condition. 2) Provide theatre education to the youth of Hawaiʻi. 3) To act as an anchor for the revitalization and restoration of the Downtown/Chinatown community in Honolulu.
