Maui Academy of Performing Arts

The Maui Academy of Performing Arts is a center for theater education and dance instruction in Wailuku with spaces for rehearsals, classes, and performances. The building provides rooms for different kinds of artistic activities and programs throughout the year.

The facility was founded in 1974 as Maui Youth Theater and was one of the first places on the island to offer structured performing arts instruction. Since its creation, it has grown into a major center for artistic education.
