Port Townsend Key City Players Theater

Port Townsend's Key City Theater Now 50 years old, and still going strong with exciting plans for a new theater. The group has performed it's plays in venues all over the city, the first one in 1958, held at the public golf course in the dining room with the performance sold out. They moved around to places like the Elks Club, 20 years in the old Scandinavian Church, and then moved to the high school auditorium. Currently the Key City Players are in a storefront building just off Water Street that seats 48 people and performances are continually sold out. The first step toward the new building was the purchase of a commercial lot on Lawrence Street in Port Townsend. This was possible through a donation from a benefactor for $300,000. Plans are for a 2 story building with a footprint of 8500 sq. ft. In addition to 150 seats it will include a shop, lobby, office, restrooms, greenroom, dressing rooms and storage.

This weekend they are featuring the Playwrights Festival with 3 award winning one act plays chosen from the Port Townsend Arts Commission 2009 One Act Play Competition. This is sure to be a hit as always with SRO.
