E KOMO MAI
Hawaii Theatre has played a significant role in Honolulu’s cultural landscape since 1922. The mission of the non-profit Hawaii Theatre Center, established in 1984 is to provide a broad range of entertainment, cultural and educational experiences; promote redevelopment and revitalization of downtown Honolulu/Chinatown; and enhance the quality of life in Honolulu.
The Hawaii Theatre is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and was recognized as the “Outstanding Historic Theatre in America” in 2005 by the League of Historic American Theatres and, in 2006, received an Honor Award by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Listed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places, the restored Hawaii Theatre re-opened in 1996, and attracts 80,000-100,000 patrons a year to its beautiful auditorium.
The Hawaiii Theatre is also proud to be recognized by GuideStar as a 2019 Gold Seal of Transparency Recipient. Learn more about our non-profit organization’s background and financial details by visiting our Hawaii Theatre Center GuideStar Profile.
MARQUEE MESSAGES - SEE YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS!
The elegant marquee adorning the Bethel Street entrance to the theatre is showing its age, as is the iconic “HAWAII” blade neon sign. To help preserve our historic theatre we’re asking for your help.
Funds raised through this campaign will be specifically used for the purpose of repairing the broken neon tubes, replacing damaged and malfunctioning spot lamps and undertaking repairs to the theatre marquee message boards.
For a gift of $150.00 toward this campaign, we’ll post your message on the marquee! Please click the link below to find out more about this exciting opportunity and to help us to raise the funds we need to complete this restoration project!
