In celebration of its 100th anniversary, Hawaii Theatre Center hosts “Speakeasy” with cocktails and music starting at 9pm in its Weyand Room and a screening of 1922 silent film “Haxan” (one of the scariest films ever made) in its theatre.

Whether you’re dressed to the nines or have taken on an otherworldly persona, stroll into Hawaii Theatre Center and step back in time to Honolulu’s roaring 20’s.

Infectious beats by DJ Jrama spinning Lounge Hip-Hop and Motown classics.

The Weyand Room is located on the 2nd Floor of Hawaii Theatre across from the theatre's historic bar. Doors will open at approximately 10pm (immediately after the conclusion of "The Three Phantoms" performance).
