The state of Hawai‘i boasts a deep tradition of performing arts, and the island of Hawai‘i certainly contributes to that tradition in its own right. Sitting at a crossroads
between “town” and rural, innovation and tradition, Western and Native, Hawai‘i Island’s performing arts communities reflect an eclectic ecosystem and a deep well of creativity. One might deem Hawai‘i Island’s performing arts sector as “small, but mighty,” and that wouldn’t be far from the truth. Given the island’s relatively small population base and limited performance venues, its rich and varied performing arts scene maximizes available resources.
