A historic movie theater
in Honokaa is on the
verge of closing if it
doesn't get the funding
necessary to stay open.
The Honoka'a People's
Theatre, which opened in
1930 needs money to buy a
digital projector to show
movies.
The theater currently has
a film projector but the
owner says it will stop
receiving film at the end
of the year.
The theatre needs 60
thousand dollars to buy
the projector and the
owner says he's half way
there.

AS SHOWING FIRST RUN
MOVIES, WE WOULD PROBABLY
CEASE DOING THAT UNTIL WE
REACH THE GOAL" 53:37
Keeney says if he doesn't
raise money by October
the theater will close
its doors.
The theatre has a
kickstarter crowd
fundraising link for
anyone interested in
donating.
