DESCRIPTION

Take a peek back at the Model T era as the stage bursts with bathing beauties and fraternity brothers, Keystone Kops chasing madcap robbers and even a dancing gorilla! This lively and lovable musical will leave you laughing as a fast-talking conman returns to his old hometown in hopes of striking it rich.

The whole family will relish the hilarious adventures of Harrison Floy (the conman), including an insanely delightful Keystone Kops chase/ballet. This sensational comic chase, in which swimmers, swindlers, Keystone Kops and the entire cast dash in and out of a line of Atlantic City beach cabanas pursuing a satchel of purloined cash, became a landmark of Broadway choreography. Famous songs from the show include: “There’s Nothing Like a Model T” and “Papa Won’t You Dance With Me”.

Dates for this summer show are August 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23 (the first four weekends of August).

KITSAP FOREST THEATER: The quarter-mile trail to the Kitsap Forest Theater transports you from the everyday to a magical place where stories for all ages have come to life for the past 86 years. The show coincides with the blooming of wild rhododendrons along the hillsides and down the trail to the theater. The stage is surrounded by giant old-growth fir with verdant fern “footlights”, while cedar bark and living moss cover the “wing walls”. Seating is carved out of the side of a natural amphitheatre. Theatergoers are amazed by the pristine beauty of this unique theater, located on a 360 acre rhododendron preserve near Bremerton on Seabeck Highway.

As Broadway producer Kary Walker said last year: “every city should have a theater like this. I wish all my New York friends could come and experience this place.” This venue provides a wonderful outing for families; countless patrons have been attending shows for decades. The trail opens at 1:00 pm, so come early to picnic at the trailhead and get the best seats. From Seattle or Edmonds, a ferry ride adds to the excitement of the experience, and bicyclists often ride from the Bremerton ferry. All shows begin at 2:00 pm, and performances go on regardless of the weather.
