KITSAP FOREST THEATER: The quarter-mile trail to the Kitsap Forest Theater transports you from your everyday life to a magical place where stories for all ages have come to life for the past 86 years. The presentation of our spring show coincides with the blooming of the wild rhododendrons that grow along the hillsides and down the trail to the theater. Theatergoers are amazed by the pristine beauty of this unique theater, located on a 360 acre rhododendron preserve near Bremerton on Seabeck Highway. The stage is surrounded by giant old-growth fir with verdant ferns serving as “footlights”, while cedar bark and living moss cover the “wing walls”. Seating is carved out of the side of a natural amphitheatre.
As Broadway producer Kary Walker said last year: “every city should have a theater like this. I wish all my New York friends could come and experience this place.” This venue provides a wonderful outing for families; countless patrons have been attending shows for decades. Come early to picnic at the trailhead and bask in the splendid environment. All shows begin at 2:00 pm, and performances go on regardless of the weather. The trail opens at 1:00 pm, so come early for the best seat selection. From the Seattle or Edmonds area, a ferry ride adds to the excitement of the experience, and bicyclists often ride from the Bremerton Ferry.
