SARA NEALY STEPS DOWN AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF KAHILU THEATRE
Kamuela, Hawaiʻi Island - The Kahilu Theatre Board of Directors announced today that Executive Director Sara Nealy will be resigning from her position as of June 30, 2023. Nealy has been with the organization since January 2021 and has successfully led the Theatre through a period of adversity amid the pandemic, ensuring the performing arts world, visual arts, and arts education remained accessible to Waimea’s community and beyond.
"We are grateful for Sara's unwavering commitment and dedication to Kahilu Theatre and our arts community," said Board President Kapena Alapai. "With her leadership, Kahilu Theatre has shown resilience as a cultural center, bringing local and world-class performances, arts education, and dynamic exhibits to Hawaiʻi Island."
Nealy was instrumental in expanding Kahilu.TV as a way of diversifying avenues by which the Theatre brings culturally-centered programming beyond the stage. During her tenure, Kahilu Theatre also initiated a place-based approach to community engagement, collaborating with Kohala leaders and organizations to develop keiki arts education programs that foster a sense of place and to seek meaningful engagement with the community. She worked to advance the Theatre’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) initiative and to cultivate more opportunities for Hawaiʻi artists to showcase and share their talents.
“I am honored to have had the opportunity to serve at Kahilu Theatre, a place I hold close to my heart,” said Nealy. “This journey has been marked by collaboration, resiliency, and the deep commitment of our remarkable team to Hawaiʻi’s community. As I step down from the Executive Director role to pursue other projects, I want to acknowledge the dedication of the Board of Directors and the staff of Kahilu. I look forward to working with them to ensure a smooth transition. I will be leaving with a profound sense of gratitude knowing the Theatre will continue to thrive as a cultural gem for all. Imua!”
The Board of Directors will evaluate Kahilu Theatre’s leadership and organizational structure as part of the development of a new strategic plan, a process that Nealy helped launch last Fall.
The Kahilu Theatre remains committed to its mission of serving as a place where community, creativity, and inspiration thrive. The Board of Directors would like to extend its deepest gratitude to Nealy for her contributions and wishes her all the best in her future endeavors.
