The University of Hawaii at Mnoa's Theatre and Performance Studies programs are celebrated for their productions and curriculum that highlight both traditional and modern Hawaiian and Asian performance arts. Students across all levels and programs can explore acting, directing, design, playwriting, and theater for young audiences (TYA), while courses in history, theory, research, and performance studies offer essential context and inspire innovation. Learning is complemented by performances in the 600-seat Kennedy Theatre and the more intimate Earle Ernst Lab Theatre.

Through both academic coursework and a full season of performances in the stunning Kennedy Theatre complex, students and audiences experience diverse works from each focus area.
