Support the Arts and Our Historic 90 Year Old Building

PalaceTheater-Main

Give a critical donation today and keep this Grande Olde Dame going!!

The historic Palace Theater has been an important part of downtown Hilo for more than nine decades. Our 95th Birthday is in October of 2020.

Why is it important to keep our doors open? Yes, it’s the movies, the concerts, the fall musical, the workshops, the shows… it’s all about ENTERTAINMENT.

The great Stan Lee, Marvel Comics primary creative leader, once said: “I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic-book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical careers. And then I began to realize; entertainment is one of the most important things in people’s lives. Without it they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you’re able to entertain people, you’re doing a good thing.”

The mission of the Friends of the Palace Theater is to restore, revitalize and sustain the historic Palace Theater as a venue that will educate, entertain and inspire our culturally diverse community. Thank you for being a part of our vibrant community.

Please donate to the Palace Theater, a 501( c )(3) non-profit. Ninety five years and counting… can we count on you?
