About The Center
 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.
