THEATRE AT HPU

Hawaiʻi Pacific University produces one mainstage show every fall and spring semester.  HPU students are highly encouraged to participate in these mainstage productions by auditioning for roles or by supporting the designers and technicians.  Productions are directed by HPU theatre faculty who invite artists from the local community – including actors, designers, and technicians – to support the show.  This gives students a wonderful opportunity to learn from professionals by working alongside them throughout the entire production process.  HPU Theatre has earned numerous awards for acting, directing, ensemble performance, playwriting, and overall play production.  Academic credit for participating in a mainstage production is offered as THEA 2000.  Students should also consider taking additional courses in the THEA alpha to prepare for the mainstage productions.
