What is the Season Selection Committee?
The Aloha Theatre’s Season Selection Committee is a team of theatre and community representatives who research, discuss, and collaborate to create the lineup for the upcoming Aloha Theatre season. The committee meets several times a year and makes a final recommendation to the Board of Directors for final approval in October.
Shows are considered from a variety of perspectives, including interest to the community, cultural significance, timely subject matter, fit with other shows under consideration, cast composition, and cost to produce. The Season Selection Committee makes a considerable effort to ensure that each season is comprised of plays from a variety of genres that will engage our diverse audience, as well as provide interesting and challenging roles for our volunteer actors and crew. Each season’s selections include at least one youth production, a play (non-musical), a large-scale musical, and a play written by a Hawaii playwright and/or a subject that is of particular interest to our community.
