Historic Iao Theater, Wailuku

This beloved landmark in the center of Wailuku Town is much improved after a 1995 facelift. In its 70-year history, the theater has won the hearts and support of island residents, many of whom participate in the low-budget productions. This is the home of the Maui Community Theater, a popular amateur theater company that puts on three to four plays and musicals each year. Under the directorship of local actor Doug McBride, the company has presented such favorites as Odd Couple and Blite Spirit, as well as locally written productions.
