A Kahilu.TV Original Documentary Premiere

Thanks to a grant from the Hawai'i Community Foundation's Richard Smart Fund, Kahilu – The Gift of Place is Kahilu.TV's next original documentary that focuses on the significance of Kahilu and its place in the Waimea community.

Through personal interviews, old photos, and videos, we're sharing the story of Kahilu, Richard Smart's passion for theatre, and the impact that this world-class theatre has had on Waimea and beyond.
