The venue was built in 1922 to bring theatre, entertainment, and films to the visitors and people of Hawaii. In 1984, the theatre was saved by its citizens and became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organisation. After a brief shutter, the theatre reopened in 1996 with the interior rejuvenated and ready to accept hundreds of thousands of patrons annually.

Hawaii Theatre highlights
The exterior of the Hawaii Theatre was restored in November 2004, leading the way for the theatre to be named the “Outstanding Historic Theatre in America” in 2005. In 2006, the theatre became the first nonprofit to earn the “Torch Award for Business Ethics” sponsored by Hawaii Better Business Bureau.
The theatre offers student matinee performances through their Children’s Theatrical Education Programme. Each year, thousands of schoolchildren are offered affordable educational experiences that touch on science, history, and literature. The matinee performances are meant to spark excitement in every child and entertain the adults too.
