Hawaii Theatre Center


The Hawaii Theatre Center is known locally as the "Pride of the Pacific". It is also considered the most beautiful theater in Hawaii. It was built by Consolidated Amusement Company in 1922. It is located in downtown Honolulu, Hawaii. It has always been a place for vaudeville, musicals, silent films, and plays. Unfortunately for a short time it fell into disrepair. Finally the land lease was abandoned by the company in 1984. In 1986 the Hawaii Theatre Center took over the land and company. They were able to save the theatre from the wrecking ball. Yet, it took ten years for the Hawaii Theatre to reopen the 1400 seat theater.

It now has a multipurpose theater set up with state of the art equipment. For the 2010/2011 season Sing a long a sound of Music, Left Behind, A Cazimero Christmas, and Defending the Caveman will be hosted at the theater. Each year the theater offers seasonal, summer and mainstage series. There are Hawaiian and non Hawaiian shows too.

Pricing for tickets is dependent on the type of show one sees. There is also the Encore ticketing such as Hawaii Slam Theatre held throughout the year and hosted by Bridgette Gray.
