Festive venue with many happy attendees

Leveling up for a new reality in the Hawaii Performing Arts sector

Even before the worldwide pandemic that saw the vast majority of performing venues closed for a prolonged amount of time, the performing arts world had already started a long march losing ticket holders. While arguments can be made about the broken presentation model that continues to prevail, the fact remains that an artist in the 21st Century must be prepared to flex multiple talents and skills if they hope to stay afloat in todayʻs realities.
