    The seats are too close to the row in front. I'm not tall, but I found the seats to be very uncomfortable.

    The UH-Hilo Performing Arts Center (also known as the UH-Hilo theater) is one of the primary…read morelocations for drama, concerts, and music on the east side of the Big Island. The theater brings in both local and international performers and is the site for many student performances from UH-Hilo and Hawaii Community College. An annual highlight is the UH-Hilo International Student Association's "International Nights" held every February. Student and community performances are featured from over a dozen countries from around the Pacific, Asia, North America, and Europe. That the event is student coordinated is especially impressive. Facilities are quite nice. Though the outside looks worn, the interior is comfortable, clean, and professional. I especially appreciate that the facility is wheelchair accessible since my mom loves to attend shows. When she is in a wheelchair, we are seated on the top row with a great view since no seat is too far from the stage. The box office is once again easily accessible at the entrance to the building. Previously it was hidden in the back of the building during the construction of a nearby building. Most tickets can be bought in person, over the phone, or online. There are often discounts for students, senior citizens, and alumni. Facilities are available for rent by non-university affiliated organizations if conducting "charitable, civic, community, cultural or educational activities which are operated on a not-for-profit basis and whose activities are appropriate for such facilities where the use does not infringe upon, delay or conflict with the normal operations of the University" (http://artscenter.uhh.hawaii.edu/FacilityUseInformation.php).

I just happened to be here during this internationally recognized festival. Although I didn't get a chance to see any performance and missed the Miss Aloha contest, I get to walk around and see many Hawaiian art & craft exhibition and displays from local artists. A lot of handmade jewelry, hats, and art pieces. The admission is free and everyone is welcome. There are some local musicians play soft Hawaiian music on the stage. Two of local mommy just took of their sandals and started the Hawaiian ocean wave dance off the stage. I had a lot success shopping. My purchases included a seashell necklace, pink shell earring, straw hats with flower, fresh plumeria flower ($1), a bag of taro chips, lilikoi passion fruit shortbread, and of course a lemon blast icy pop. It's so hot out here. So I change my Nike T-shirt to a Hawaiian flower shirt, wear my straw hot with the plumeria flower and a pink shell earring. Now I totally fell like a local when I walk out of the festival. What a fun day!

    I find myself needing to leave a review because of a negative review I read here today. I always…read moretell tourists this is an awesome spot if they want to get a feel of the real parts of the island, albeit not fancy, not expensive, not anything like you would expect. The first time I went here I was like, "wow, this is different." It really is and if you like jazz, you must try the Monday night jazz jam. There is no cover, although there should be. Bub the owner runs this jam every single Monday night no matter what the holiday or what's happening in town. Yes, he is different than maybe you and certainly me, but he is a loving, wonderful, caring individual even though he's against masking and has a different viewpoint on covid. So what, many people do. The sax player who was disrespectful was indeed kicked out of the joint and that guy hasn't been seen since. Its a shame too, cause he was at one time in his life a good sax player. Alas, the dude cannot handle his liquor. Anyway, I just wanted to say that despite what you read from a couple people about this place, it's a GEM and a real treat to experience a Monday night there. I don't partake in any other events that he throws in there but a lot of people do and it's a safe space. I'll support Bub always.

After speaking out about it, other women of Hilo reported that he had also harassed and even unconsensually kissed them. None of the "regulars" confronted him or held him accountable. We also watched him call other fem presenting people "hot" and "sexy" from up on stage. Shared my story on fb and the owner, Bub, was tagged. He commented on the post sharing his sincere apologies for our experience. He stated this goes against kukuau studio values and shared that this man would be completely banned from the studio!
