Inspiring youth through the study, performance and appreciation of the theater arts

Our Mission

Theatre is for every child

At Hawaiʻi Children's Theatre (HCT), we ignite creativity, confidence, and connection through the magic of live theatre. Each year, we engage over 300 young performers and technicians, many of whom receive financial aid or work-study opportunities to make theatre accessible for all.

Our productions and programs — including Summer Stars, Mainstage & After Dark productions, and workshops — bring together children, families, and professional artists to create meaningful, memorable theatre experiences. Each year, over 10,000 people experience the joy of HCT performances.

Join us as we continue to make theatre a vibrant part of childhood on Kauaʻi and inspire the next generation of storytellers and creative leaders.
