The UHH Performing Arts Center is the major performing arts educational and cultural center
on the Big Island, serving as a joint facility for the University and Big
Island Communities. The primary purpose of the Center is to offer
significant educational and diverse cultural opportunities -- where dialogue, the exchange of cultural and artistic
ideas and co-curricular activities are encouraged.
The Center produces, presents and/or co-sponsors an extensive and culturally
diverse year-round season of local, regional, national, and international
performing arts events performed by some of the world's greatest artists.
The quality of events presented in the 600-seat Theatre is equal to any offered
by major mainland universities. A typical season includes over 150 performances
of dance, drama, music, mime, children's shows, lectures and special events.
The Center program also produces and mounts two to six plays, musicals and/or
dance performances each season. Interested faculty, staff, students and community
members are encouraged to participate in the activities of the Theatre.
