A theater in the woods – 20 seconds

Kit and I have always been fans of live theater. We’ve attended professional shows in New York, London, Atlanta, Seattle, Greenville, and Little Rock. The performers are truly amazing.

We’ve also enjoyed performances by local companies everywhere we’ve lived. Western Washington has a plethora of community theaters. Many of the local performers could hold their own in a Broadway cast.

Kitsap Forest Theater has produced shows since 1923 with brief interruptions for WWII and covid.  The players perform “rain-or-shine” in a cleared amphitheater deep in the woods. Access is by an arduous path through massive trees. Seating is on the ground or folding chairs. The musicians play under the thatched roof seen on the right. The setting is truly enchanting and made more so by wonderful actors bringing a story to life with very limited props and staging.

Amazing talent is everywhere.
