For over a century, Diamond Head Theatre has been a place of inspiration for our community. Through your support, these beautiful moments of joy can continue.
Nearly 500 theatergoers connected in a single moment, all beating with the same heart. That is the joy of Diamond Head Theatre. To hear love expressed in a soliloquy. To feel hope wrapped in a song. To be transported to faraway places. To be moved to tears. To share in someone else’s journey. To be reminded – we are all human.

Our vision for your new theatre is in the final act.
Dating from before WWII, our theatre was built in 1933. Built by the Army as the Fort Ruger USO movie theater, it has served admirably. Yet, given its age, renovating it would cost more than rebuilding it. Over the last decade, we’ve worked to make our bold vision of a new theatre a reality.
