The Mountaineer Players started in 1923 with a presentation of Robin of Sherwood. The production was unique, as the audience was led from clearing to clearing in the lowland old-growth forest, to be presented with successive scenes of the play. Since that first production, the annual play has continued uninterrupted (except for 3 years during WWII) on the Mountaineers Kitsap Property. The Mountaineer Players pride themselves for a family-friendly work ethic, inclusion of members of all ages and the educational outdoor theater experience enjoyed by generations of play attendees. Many participant families are second or third generation contributors. Following selection of the play, auditions are held in February; rehearsals are March through the end of May; and performances run Memorial Day weekend thru June. Recently, a show in the summer (August run, auditions in March.) has been added.

As with many art organizations, the Players struggle to provide entertainment value in the face of rising costs. As a member of the community for well over 80 years, they need your support to continue operating.
