The Hilo Community Players have been doing theater since 1938, making us the oldest theater company in the state! Through the presentation of amateur and professional theatre, youth theatre and various special events, the Hilo Community Players strive to organize, promote and conduct an inspirational, engaging program of quality dramatic throughout the year. This well-established program offers multiple opportunities for community members to participate as actors, directors and technicians during the diverse, year round schedule. The Players are also dedicated to providing quality educational opportunities of a theatrical nature, especially to the youth of the community.

The mission of the Hilo Community Players is to educate, enrich, and entertain the Big Island community through quality theatrical productions, workshops and activities for children, youths and adults.

The vision of the Hilo Community Players is to stimulate, celebrate, and enhance understanding of ourselves and others through the shared experience of theatre.
