The Manoa Valley Theatre specializes in producing Broadway and Off-Broadway plays and musicals, bringing many Hawaii premieres to the stage since its inception in 1969.

The company was founded by a group of University of Hawaii graduate students, and in 1983 moved to its current 150-seat location.

Recent productions include "The Honky Tonk Angels," "A Christmas Carol" and "Tony n' Tina's Wedding."

The theater's annual season produces six plays from recent Broadway or Off Broadway productions, running from September through August.

An important focus of the theater is to create a community workplace for theater students from schools and universities around the state. Manoa Valley Theatre provide opportunities for youth to get involved in all aspects of production, including acting, directing, designing and working behind-the-scenes.
