Maui Arts and Cultural Center
One of the reasons that Maui is
no ka oi
(the best) is that it truly does have a little of
everything: tropical weather, world-class beaches, multicultural cuisine, hidden waterfalls,
and live entertainment and cultural exhibitions on par with any metropolitan urban cen-
ter. Though concerts and events are regularly held at various locations around the island,
none offer the big-city professionalism of the $32-million-dollar
Maui Arts and Cultur-
al Center
(1 Cameron Way, 808/242-7469,
www.mauiarts.org
), a figure that doesn't take
into account the massive renovation which was undertaken in 2012.
Although it doesn't look like much from the highway, when you first step inside the
Castle Theater or wander through the museum-quality Schaefer Gallery, you quickly real-
ize that this is a place you would expect to find in New York, Chicago, or San Francisco.
The 1,200-seat Castle Theater boasts three levels of seating, and the acoustics are designed
in such a way that an unamplified guitar can be heard throughout the venue. The 250-seat
McCoy Studio is a classic black-box theater which hosts smaller plays and theatrical
events. The sprawling, 5,000-person A&B amphitheater has drawn some of the world's
biggest musical talents from Elton John to Prince and Jimmy Buffett to The Eagles. The
Maui Film Festival is partially held here on a screen inside the Castle Theater, and movies
regularly show throughout the year. The constantly changing schedule of performances is
listed on the website.
