The Kitsap Forest Theater has been alive with music and the power of imagination for 100 years (1923-2023). Celebrate our Centennial with two fabulous musicals perfect for all ages. In The Sound of Music, an exuberant young governess brings music and joy back to a broken family, only to face danger and intrigue in 1930's Austria. Seussical, The Musical, celebrates friendship, loyalty, family and community with the best-loved characters from Dr. Seuss' magical books. 

Kitsap Forest Theater was featured on King 5 Evening Magazine in 2021.

Stroll down the forested trail to our unique and breathtaking theater and create a treasured family tradition. We are located 15 minutes from the Bremerton Ferry dock – all ages will delight in this fun Northwest experience. Come early and picnic under the firs before the show.

A treasured family tradition in the greater Puget Sound 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.

In addition to producing two shows per year (spring and summer) the Mountaineers Players provide summer day camps for kids. We invite you to join us as an audience member, actor, or behind the scenes help and become part of our unique community combining the love of the beautiful out of doors with quality theater.

We welcome everyone with open arms to be part of our group.
