In May 2024, Hawaii Theatre Center launched a partnership with the Hawai‘i LGBT Legacy Foundation to host Kūpuna Movie Mornings, a monthly “pay what you can” film series created to provide seniors, the LGBT community and cinema lovers in general the opportunity to socialize and watch a classic movie in a safe, welcoming environment at little to no cost.
The movies are chosen by our patrons, who fill out ballots at every screening. “Some Like It Hot,” “Vertigo,” “Casablanca,” The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “The Wizard of Oz” are a few of the films we’ve shown based on audience input.
Kūpuna Movie Mornings are usually held on the second Tuesday of the month. The lobby opens at 10:30 am. Complimentary, sponsored coffee and pastries are provided so attendees have a chance to enjoy a snack and talk story time before the 11:30 am showtime.
Despite the name, Kupuna Movie Mornings attract film lovers of all ages. At our most recent show, the youngest attendee was 23; the oldest, 94.
We would love for you to join us for our next Kūpuna Movie Morning! Please visit our website (below) and click on the “Join Our Mailing List” link to learn about future shows.
