"Newsies" at Kitsap Forest Theater (8 dates)

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.

Trail to the theater opens at 1:00 pm. Come early for the best choice of seats and to picnic on the property. Hike the "Big Tree" trail before or after the show to see the second largest Douglas Fir on the Kitsap peninsula. Kids will enjoy climbing on our "Tree House Play Structure" near Kitsap Cabin.

Tickets available online and at The Mountaineers. See "more information" for our website and details.
