Construction on the historic Aloha Theatre Building began in 1929 and was completed in 1932. It began as a silent movie house, the front area serving as box office and snack bar.
The building withstood the fire of 1948, which burned the lower makai (ocean) side of Kainaliu. Movies changed from the silent to talkies and the Aloha Theatre became a gathering place for the mauka (mountain) community.
The theatre seats 320 people and is also available for seminars, workshops and company or business presentations. Projection of Video, DVD and Power-point presentations are also offered.
The Aloha Theatre is now a performing arts center featuring live theater, music, dance and film.
