The University of Hawai'i at Hilo Theatre

The UHH Theatre 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 Theatre Program is to offer significant educational and diverse cultural opportunities for the UHH and Big Island communites--where dialogue, the exchange of cultural and artistic ideas and co-curricular activities are encouraged.

The Theatre 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 Theatre 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.
