In the heart of Hawaii’s cultural landscape, a legacy of artistic excellence and community engagement has been carefully nurtured for over five decades. The Manoa Valley Theatre (MVT) stands as a beacon, not only as “Honolulu’s Off-Broadway Playhouse” but also as a vibrant hub dedicated to supporting local arts and theatre. Immerse yourself in a world of captivating performances and become an integral part of this journey by securing your MVT season tickets.

Founded in 1969 by a group of visionary graduate students from the University of Hawaii Theatre Department, the Hawaii Performing Arts Company (HPAC) aimed to establish the island’s premier professional resident theatre organization. This groundbreaking initiative wasn’t just about creating exceptional performances; it was about fostering a sense of belonging and unity within the community.

As MVT continues the 2023-2024 season, it continues to honor its roots while pushing the boundaries of theatrical excellence. The theatre’s journey, from its modest inception to its current stature as a semi-professional powerhouse, stands as a testament to the dedication of its founders, the passion of its artists, and the unwavering support of its community. By intertwining the talents of local performers with the artistic richness of mainstream productions, MVT crafts a theatrical experience that is uniquely Hawaiian yet universally resonant.

The 2023-2024 season promises a spellbinding array of performances that will further solidify MVT’s reputation as a premier theatrical hub. One standout production is “Dear Evan Hansen,” marking MVT as the first regional theater to bring this Tony Award-winning sensation to life. Scheduled from March 7th – 24th, “Dear Evan Hansen” narrates a tale of a letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he’s always wanted: a chance to finally fit in. Also, we can’t forget about “Death of a Salesman” one of the most profound classic dramas of the American theatre which follows Willy Loman on his tragic quest for the “American Dream,” scheduled from May 23 – June 2. Lastly, MVT rounds out the season with “Tenderly, The Rosemary Clooney Musical”, scheduled for July 11-21.
