Performing Arts Center Kapolei

My daughter didn't know it yet, but she is a performer. She loves to sing, to dance and to act silly. Unfortunately, my Mini me thought she wouldn't like PACKHawaii because she knew nobody there. That all changed from the first day. In fact, she had such a blast! The staff, and volunteers were welcoming and knew all to well the feeling of not knowing anyone. They made it a fun and safe place for all the kids. Ms. Mini me decided to get up early everyday excited to go and practice. For summer, it was a whole day affair and she was ready to get out the door before I was up.Why couldn't she be like this going to school?! Anyway, performance day came and she was excited about her the whole show. The family came to cheer her on and we were amazed how great the show was! The stage looked amazing. In 2 weeks all the kids memorized their lines, learned choreography, stage presence, and memorized songs. It was impressive to see how much these kids learned in only 2 weeks. They even help make the stage, props, and programs. AMAZING! PACK has different programs. There is the summer programs, different shows to tryout, they have dance classes and offer various workshops for kids. It is such a great program and it is on the Westside!! Overall, It was priceless to see my mini me's confidence and excitement grow with each day. Thank you PACK for having this wonderful program available in the Westside. My daughter's new found love of performing came out because of PACK. She has gained so much and learned a lot about herself in just a few weeks. I can't wait to see what next summer will bring.

BRAVO!! BRAVO!! BRAVO!! PACK's latest production of Westside Story was phenomenally great!! Like really, really good! Westside Story is one of my all-time favorite "classic" movie & musical play and I must say, PACKids did this production justice! Who can resist singing along to "When you're a Jet," or "I Wanna Live in America," or even belt out, "take my hand and I'll take you there..." or "I Feel Pretty, oh so pretty!" PACKids really outdid themselves by singing, dancing and acting their hearts out on stage - it was truly believable and something they can be proud to have been a part of. I know I was proud to have witnessed such a beautiful musical.It's no secret, i embrace local entrepreneurial endeavors and that affinity does not end with just my purchases. I support local talent when I can. Here in west Oahu there is not a shortage of talents and skills. PACK is a local, non-profit, after school musical theatre group that puts on 4-5 musical productions in a year. Children audition for parts and should be able to sing, dance, recite and act. It's the real deal at PACK! Since moving to west Oahu I have seen School House Rock Jr., their Christmas Holiday production, Little Mermaid and now, Westside Story. These kids are amazing!! I've seen them grow with each performance and their sets get better and better. No need to drive into town anymore to catch a play at Diamond Head, Manoa Valley or Hawaii Theatre...PACKids ROCK!!

Homegrown performance arts.... these kids are so talented. They are based oit of kapolei but have performers across the island. They are a 504c non profit, invest in the community, promote the arts, support the keikis

My family and I attended The Lion King Jr performance on 10/06/17 for the 7pm showing! It was AMAZING!!! We had 18 people in our party and we were all able to purchase our tickets online for the VIP seating. We had really good seats and were able to see everything! The play pretty much followed the storyline and script from the Disney version! They performed all of the songs that were in the movie! Yes, I sang along as I am a HUGE Disney fanatic! Jeremiah Ulufanua, the actor who played Scar, was AWESOME!!! He was born to play that role! Everything was amazing about his performance... from his accent, tone of his voice right down to the singing! The other actors were just as great! I loved the costumes, the props, the set! Let me tell you, when you walk in, you definitely feel like you are a part of the set! It was soooo lifelike! The costumes were excellent! I loved everything about this play! I would definitely go watch it again! I have already told my co workers (especially the ones with children or grandchildren) to make time to see this show before it ends! Thanks PACK for putting on a great show! I look forward to more plays that you will put on! The cast and crew did awesome! Good luck with all future productions! I will keep an eye out for the next one! *another bonus was the concession stand!!!*
