A calendar of music, theater and film
The MACC brings local, national and international performers to Kahului. Its program includes Hawaiian slack-key, reggae, Broadway performers, touring musicians, dance, comedy, theater and film screenings. Festivals and community events also appear on the calendar, so the kind of visit you get depends on the date.
The center opened in 1994 and has indoor and outdoor performance spaces, an art gallery and dance studios. Some events are free, but admission and ticket arrangements vary by event. Check the MACC website for the current schedule and ticket details before making plans.
Choosing a performance space
The Castle Theater seats 1,200 and hosts larger performances. The 350-seat McCoy Theater gives smaller productions a more intimate setting. The complex also includes the Yokouchi Pavilion and outdoor performance areas, including the lawn, where concerts and other events take place.
The lawn gives you room to sit outside, with palms and Haleakala in view. Conditions can change during outdoor events, so bring layers and check the weather and road advisories before setting out. Heavy rain and flooding have affected travel to the center.
Gallery visits and preshow plans
The Schaefer International Gallery presents changing exhibitions. Its program sits alongside the center’s performances and festivals, giving you another reason to check what is on during your visit.
A courtyard café serves food and drinks before shows. Arriving early gives you time to eat, park and find your seat. Staff and volunteers can assist with seating. Parking arrangements and prices can vary by event, so check current information before you drive.
