A 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 it's place in the Waimea community. Through personal interviews, and old photos and videos, we're sharing the story of Kahilu, Richard Smarts passion for theatre, and the impact that this worldclass theatre has had on Waimea and beyond.
