Diamond Head Theatre history and highlights

The Diamond Head Theatre began in 1915 and was known as The Footlights. The name was later changed to Honolulu Community Theatre, and finally to its current moniker. It’s the third-oldest community theatre in the United States.

The actors, musicians, production crew, and even the ushers are all volunteers from the community. They work together to create the spectacle and shows that capture the admiration of 40,000 patrons each year. With over a century under its belt, the Diamond Head Theatre is a unique and wondrous experience for the whole family.

Good to know when visiting the Diamond Head Theatre

Tickets may be purchased online, by telephone, or in person at the box office. Guests should arrive in plenty of time to find their seats before the show, as late arrivals will not be permitted to take their assigned seating after the show has begun. All attendees must have a ticket, including children. Most shows are not recommended for children under age 5, though toddler-friendly shows play on occasion.

Enjoy a delicious pre-show dinner and drinks at the nearby 12th Ave. Grill, serving food prepared from local ingredients, or head for after-show dessert at the popular Leonard's Bakery. Both are located about a mile from the theatre.
