Was originally the Tanimoto Theatre. Should be added to the list of previous names
Wow, 2 million. Good luck.
I heard it was for sale. Is this true?

The Historic Aloha Theatre is now operated by the Aloha Performing Arts Co.providing LIVE theatre education and performance as well as serving as the West Side Independent Film house. Stop by and say Hi!
Uh oh, with an asking price such as that you see what’s going on there. It’s going to become one of those cases where future passerby-ers will ask, “Hey, wasn’t there a theater there?” and others with pockets stuffed with money will reply, “No, your memory is deluding you, there was never any theater here, that big [ugly] condominium complex you see is all that was ever there, that and nothing else” — the whole “To be rich is glorious” thing, if you know what I’m getting at.
Interesting that the Aloha started out as a silent movie house, seeing that by 1932 talkies were going strong. Was there either a theater pipe organ or, say, a photoplayer used for the accompaniment of the films?

Sorry Dennis:
The Aloha Theatre is now the home of the Kona Association for the Performing Arts (KAPA). KAPA presents live plays, musicals, and concerts throughout the year. When the stage is not in use art films are shown. Under KAPA the building has had a significant facelift and looks great!

I am interested in the Aloha Theatre. When I click on the link to the web page it puts me into a search engine. Help.
What is the asking price, is it suitable for for live stage productions (i.e. is there a fly loft, wing space, orchestra pit) and are there any interior photos.

Our apologies for the first e-mail message sent regarding the Jessie Collin Young event. The word “scam” was not an appropriate comment. The event was however, a disappointment and extremely over priced for what was presented. We heard many similar comments from people in rows all around us. We will probably not be going to events at Aloha Cafe in Kona in the future because we feel this was a misrepresentation and misuse of Jessie Collin Young’s name to pull in money. We have seen high school music events with better quality than this was. We understand it was a benefit for a school..but nonetheless, it was over priced, boring and lacked professionalism.
Sorry for the poor review.
