Mahalo nui loa to our incredible audiences for supporting The Music Man! Your enthusiasm, applause, and aloha filled every performance with joy and made this production truly unforgettable.

Mahalo to our Supporters!

Hawaii Children’s Theatre extends our deepest gratitude to all of our donors whose generosity makes our work possible. Your support helps us create meaningful, high-quality arts experiences for the keiki of Kauaʻi and ensures that theatre continues to thrive in our island community.

 

We would also like to offer a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made a gift in honor of Melissa McFerrin Warrack. Melissa’s passion, vision, and dedication were instrumental in building the programs that define HCT today. Your gifts given in her memory are a powerful reflection of the love and respect she inspired in all who knew her.

 

In recognition of Melissa’s unwavering belief in providing year-round opportunities for young performers, these contributions will be used to continue supporting her beloved dream project, HCT Academy — our first year-round theatre program designed for keiki of all ages. Through your kindness, Melissa’s legacy will continue to grow, inspire, and empower future generations of young artists.

 

Mahalo nui loa for standing with us, for honoring Melissa, and for helping us carry her light forward.
