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. Instead of curtains or lights, there are singing birds, a babbling creek and a sun-dappled stage. Theatergoers are amazed by the pristine beauty of this unique venue, 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.
