Century of Inspiration Soirée at Hawaiʻi Theatre Featuring Ronny Chieng
Join us September 3, 2025 for an unforgettable evening of laughter, legacy, and giving back at the Century of Inspiration Soirée — a celebration marking the Hawaii Theatre’s remarkable 103rd anniversary. Join us for a night of comedy and music with internationally acclaimed comedian and actor Ronny Chieng and his surprise special guests as they put on a show as bold and unforgettable as the venue itself.
This one-night-only event is more than just a show — it’s a celebration of the Hawaii Theatre’s past, present, and future. Housed in Honolulu’s historic Chinatown, the Hawaii Theatre has stood as a beacon for the arts since 1922. From silent films and vaudeville to symphonies, Broadway hits, and community performances, this landmark has inspired generations of artists and audiences alike.
This year’s Century of Inspiration Soirée continues the tradition of 2024’s Century of Elegance, offering you a chance to be part of the Theatre’s continued story. All proceeds from the evening will directly support the restoration and preservation of the Hawaii Theatre’s iconic exterior, along with vital funding for community programs, youth education, and world-class live performances. Your support helps ensure that this historic treasure remains a vibrant gathering place for Hawaii’s creative spirit for generations to come.
The highlight of the evening will be the exclusive VIP on-stage celebration. Guests will have a rare opportunity to step into the spotlight and dine and celebrate directly on the Hawaii Theatre’s storied stage — a magical setting where audiences and artists have connected for over a century.
VIP options include premium seating for Ronny Chieng’s performance, complimentary drinks, and access to pre-show and post-show festivities. Whether you come for the comedy, the camaraderie, or the cause, you’ll leave knowing you’ve played a vital role in sustaining Hawaiʻi’s cultural heart.
Ronny Chieng, known for his roles on The Daily Show, Crazy Rich Asians, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and his global stand-up specials, brings his signature humor and perspective to Honolulu for this landmark event. His sharp insights and global storytelling reflect the diversity, intelligence, and warmth that also define the spirit of Hawaii Theatre.
