Kitsap Forest Theater Rehearsal - Kitsap Forest Theater

The Kitsap Forest Theater, constructed in 1926, provides a magnificent backdrop for any show. Seating is carved out of the side of a natural amphitheater and a lush row of ferns serves as “footlights”. Cedar bark and living moss cover the wings to complete this splendid setting. During the spring, wild rhododendrons bloom along the quarter-mile trail down to the theater and on the stage. Surrounded by giant old growth fir, cedar and dogwood, the earth stage is much the same as it was in 1926, providing a truly unique setting for outdoor theater.

During rehearsal weekends at Kitsap, many stay the night in rustic cabins or bring their own tents. Children play in the forest and near the stream and resurrect many outdoor games. Adults hang out – playing games, reading, singing, or just relaxing. Everyone enjoys singing around the campfire behind Kitsap Cabin – don’t forget your guitar.

Kitsap Cabin & Yurt Kitsap Cabin is the traditional hub of social activity for the Players and provides a warm, dry place for relaxation on rehearsal and performance weekends at the theater. One of the pleasures of “Kitsap” weekends is hanging out and eating meals together at the Cabin and playing games or singing after dinner.

Kitsap Cabin has wireless internet to help you stay connected. Volunteer cooks prepare Saturday dinner, Sunday breakfast and lunch for interested cast, crew, and friends. The operation and clean-up of the facilities are shared by everyone. A line forms after meals so everyone can wash their own dishes (along with some of the pots and pans). A list of jobs to be done will be posted in the cabin on a clipboard. Please sign-up for one or more tasks.

Kitsap Yurt is another dry place to “hang-out” or even sleep. The yurt must be cleaned out every morning to allow rehearsals or other activities to take place. There is no food or drink allowed in the yurt at any time. Please respect quiet time around the yurt and outside on the property after 10:00 pm.
