Did you know that The Mountaineers have a penchant for the theatrical, dating back to our earliest days entertaining each other around the camp fires? Since 1923, The Mountaineers Players have been bringing quality outdoor theater to the people of Puget Sound.
Every spring and summer, performances take place at the beautiful Kitsap Forest Theater, located on a 460-acre Rhododendron Preserve near Bremerton - a true hidden gem of the Pacific Northwest.
Your family will love seeing these magical performances in the terraced seating of the Theater's natural amphitheatre, surrounded by giant fir trees and ferns. Learn more about the Kitsap Cabin & Kitsap Forest Theater , then see it for yourself!
