3 Reasons You’ll Love the Leavenworth Summer Theater

1. Beautiful Outdoor Setting 

One of the main draws of the Leavenworth Summer Theater is that its performances are held outdoors, with views of the towering Cascade Mountains. You can choose a performance time in the late afternoon to catch the sunset. Or, after dusk, where you’ll be seated beneath a sky full of shining stars. With classic performances and a talented cast and crew, it’s hard to imagine a more ideal setting for some local theater.

2. Outstanding Live Music 

The sound of a live orchestra and beautiful voices fills the air and carries across rolling hills at the Leavenworth Summer Theater. There’s absolutely nothing like it! This one-of-a-kind, romantic experience allows the audience to immerse themselves in the music and production in a unique way traditional theater can’t match.

3. Talented and Professional Cast 

From the seating to the stage, the cast commits themselves to interacting with and entertaining the audience. First, they seat you before the performance. Then, they wow you with their phenomenal acting and singing. Engaging characters capture the audience’s hearts during these theatrical performances set in the great outdoors. 

Tickets

There are a variety of ticketing options, including accessible seating. They even offer front-row seating for patrons who regularly donate to the theater. You can check their ticket information page to purchase yours!

Pro-Tip: Unclaimed Patron Seats are available to the public as $50 Rush tickets beginning the day before the performance, both online and at our Box Office. 

Parking & Directions

The Leavenworth Summer Theater is held at the Ski Hill Amphitheater, and complimentary parking is available at the base of the hill. After parking, guests follow the path for about fifteen minutes up a gentle incline to reach the theater. A shuttle bus is available for patrons who need assistance reaching the seats from the parking area. If you need the shuttle, make sure you arrive by 7:15 PM.
