The Hawaii Theatre is a historic Vaudeville entertainment house and Cinema in Downtown Honolulu , Hawaii , USA . It is listed on the National Register Of Historic Places . Built in 1922 by Consolidated Amusement Company in Hawaiian Art Deco Architecture , the Hawaii Theatre mainly operated as a grand movie palace. Beginning in the 1950s with the advent of Television , the theatre gradually fell into disrepair until Consolidated announced the theatre's closing in 1984 . Concerned citizens formed the Hawaii Theatre Center, which purchased the theatre and several adjacent buildings in 1986 . The theatre underwent a major interior renovation from 1989 until its re-opening in 1996 , and exterior renovation is scheduled to be completed in 2004 . Following the renovation, the Hawaii Theatre has once again become a popular venue for stage shows and concerts. EXTERNAL LINKS |
