Hawaiʻi theatre, island by island
Start with the island you are on—or the island you are headed to. The directory combines professional and regional theatre, community/amateur companies, movie cinemas, campus stages, youth theatre and major performing-arts venues.
Professional & regional
Producing companies, major stages and presenting organizations.
Community & amateur
Volunteer-rich places to act, direct, build, design and learn by doing.
Movies & cinema
Current cinema locations plus historic venues that mix film and live events.
Beyond the footlights
A theatre is much more than the people you see onstage.
Hawaiʻi can be the start of the path—not a place you have to leave behind. Explore local productions and training, then connect outward to the film industry and the West Coast when your career calls for it.
