Manoa Valley Theatre

MVT was started by a group of UH Theatre grad students in 1969. The Hawaii Performing Arts Company (HPAC) got its start performing in small venues around Honolulu, and eventually moved to a church. Finally, in 1983 the company and its audiences grew large enough to move to the 150-seat Manoa Valley Theatre.

Now in its 40th consecutive season, MVT has evolved into one of Hawaii’s most celebrated and exciting producing theatres. Its focus on contemporary, mainstream Broadway and Off-Broadway entertainment results in previously unseen shows being presented in their Hawaii premieres.
