Kahilu Theatre began as the dream of a native Hawaiian, who wanted to create a theater that would inspire creativity and a passion for the arts among local residents and visitors.

Built in 1979, the 490-seat Kahilu Theater in the town of Waimea hosts stage performances throughout the year, as well as free community events, a youth concert series, meetings, lectures and other special events.

The gallery in the theater displays work of up-and-coming Hawaiian artists as well as established artists on the Big Island.

The Youth Concert series is a special series of performances from the headlining shows, reworked especially for a younger audiences.

Performances have included HANDS, a Chinese Percussion Team; Kealoha, the founder of HawaiiSlam; and PHILADANCO!, a Philadelphia Dance Company.
