Whether it's a hike down to see one of the largest trees in the state of Washington, or enjoying the rhododendron preserve, a quarter-mile trail transports visitors to another time and place where stories for all ages have come to life since 1923. The presentation of the spring show coincides with the blooming of the wild rhododendrons that grow along the hillsides and down the trail to the theater. Generations of theatergoers have enjoyed the scenic drive or ferry ride to the theater, and often come early to picnic under the firs before the trail to the theater opens at 1:00 pm.
A treasured family tradition in the greater Seattle arts community since 1923, The Mountaineers Players continues to bring Puget Sound audiences quality outdoor theater under the conifer canopy of its Kitsap Forest Theater every spring and summer. One of the oldest nonprofit theater groups in the country, the Players troupe performs in the midst of the 460-acre Rhododendron Preserve near Bremerton. Giant fir trees surround terraced seating carved from the side of a natural amphitheater while verdant ferns serve as the footlights" for the performance stage.
Make sure to arrive early to walk down the pathway, which can take 5 - 20 minutes based on age. All shows start at 2:00 pm
Be sure to watch the "how to" video that highlights their theater.
