The Hawaii Theatre Center of the Arts, commonly known as the Hawaii Theatre, is a historic performing arts venue located in downtown Honolulu. Originally opened in 1922 as a vaudeville house, it quickly became a significant entertainment hub for the Territory of Hawaii and later the State of Hawaii. The theatre underwent extensive restoration in the 1980s after facing potential demolition and was reopened in 1987. Its architectural style reflects a blend of Moorish, Western and Hawaiian design elements. The venue hosts a diverse range of performances including concerts, Broadway shows, dance performances, films and community events. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and remains an important cultural landmark for the state.
