“Leeward Theatre has always been a gathering place for the community, and what better way to celebrate 50 years than by offering this milestone event for free,” said Elisa Olson, theatre manager. “We want to fill our theatre with the energy, appreciation and love from the community that has supported us for half a century.”

Leeward Theatre has been a cornerstone of performing arts, education, and community engagement in Leeward Oʻahu since its inception. The theatre has played a pivotal role in nurturing talent, entertaining audiences, and fostering a love for the arts within the local community.

It reopened in 2019 after a three-year, $12-million renovation, then had to shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Leeward Theatre welcomed the community back in 2022.
