D & R Theatre - Theatre exterior after the 3 Dog Night show

A Diamond in the Rough !! This is a Absolutely Amazing Venue…read more The D&R Theater was built in 1923/24 by Ed Dolan (which is where the "D" came from D&R). It been renovated and restored. A state of the art sound and lighting system make this a great place to see concerts. They seem to be getting great artists to come to Aberdeen also !! It is an intimate venue with up close and personal live shows. A small concession stand with drinks, pizza & popcorn. Every seat is Awesome. I will always try to see shows here, just some of the artists I remember seeing from the pictures in the lobby are Clint Black, Styx, Jonny Lang, Fab Four, Chris Isaak, Foreigner, Wynonna, Robert Cray, Loaded, Bill Cosby, Queensryche.... And many more !!! Well worth the trip, an Awesome night out !!

I am old enough to barely remember the old DnR Theater when it played movies. It sat idle for over…read more20 years as a storage building. It has been remodeled, and it is beautiful. It is great to see some of the older buildings in Grays Harbor being restored and used! First of all, there isn't a bad seat in the house. I sat in the 13th row on the right side, and it was a great view. It's a small theater, how can any seat be bad? The seats themselves are fine, typical of what you would expect in any venue. If you go to a theater, the seats are going to be close--it is what it is. I have visited the coffee shop in the past and bought my tickets there. It is an awesome atmosphere, and the service was always nice and friendly. It is clean, warm and inviting. To be fair, I did not go upstairs, and I did not buy anything from concessions. But when I bought my concert tickets, I was able to go in the theater and check it out. This theater will truly be an asset to the community. In fact, Billy's restaurant didn't have one empty seat before the concert! This will really help the economy in Aberdeen. I went to Queesryche, and it was a great show. The opening group was a band called Gord, and they sounded a bit like an AC/DC cover band. Enjoyable, but the vocals were hard to hear. Not sure if that's the DnR speaker system or not. But Queensryche was great, vocals were very clear! I loved the feel of the small theater with a loud band like that. The biggest complaint I had was that between acts, the doors were open, and people were outside smoking, and the smoke filtered right in to the theater. Maybe they could close the doors next time. It is nice that we don't have to go out of town to get good entertainment, and we have a theater that can handle it. Unlike the prior poster, I felt I saw a show in a manner that I would have seen anywhere else. It started on time with the first band promptly starting. I will admit, it did seem like it took a long time for the main act to begin after the opener, but I didn't mind, and I'm not sure whose fault that is. As for prices, you are going to pay to see a show. I have never compared prices to other places, but if the previous poster is correct, why not pay a little extra to see a show right here at home? You save on gas money and food to eat out, and you help your community. I will go back to the DnR theater next time there is a show worth seeing. The acts they've brought in have been mostly country, so I'm hoping for more variety this year. They have also allowed churches to have Christmas Services, as well as had dance companies have recitals there. Clearly, they are trying to be a friend to our community. We should support them.

Great community theatre! With ada access from alley behind the building. Definitely a must see!read more

Just up Broadway Hill in the little town of Aberdeen, you'll find the beautiful Driftwood…read morePlayhouse. The "Driftwood Players" have existed since the 50's, floating around locations on the harbor like pieces of their namesake "driftwood"...in the early days taking the entertainment directly to where the tourists could be found. Since 1982, they have called their current location home... and what a home it is. The theater is beautiful inside and out. It is a true jewel for this historic coastal community. I had the pleasure of attending a performance of Daddy Long Legs (2023 season) and I was pleasantly surprised. A cast of two and an orchestra of four put on a first class show that rivaled some of the best shows I've seen around the country! I continue to be blown away by the talent found around Grays Harbor. The artists, musicians, singers and actors make this area ground zero for the best entertainment that can be found on the remote west coast of Washington state. Regarding Daddy Long Legs, I would be remiss if I didn't give due praise to director Brad Duffy, Carlos Cruz (as Jervis) and Chaela Watkins (as Jerusha Abbott). They absolutely succeeded in transporting this audience member to the turn of the century in an immersive, funny and romantic journey through clever dialogue and wonderful stagecraft. Bravo and a very well deserved standing ovation! The most heartbreaking thing was that the theater wasn't fully packed. So get out the word, plan to attend a show and support the amazing talent that is the Driftwood Players!

Plenty of parking spots nearby, especially on the side street. All for free! This museum is small,…read moreyes, but the workers here are so passionate about the grunge music movement and craft of Kurt Cobain. It was super duper neat to have workers on standby to ask questions even though I was running the self-guided tour. I would allot 1 to 2 hours while you are here to see each mini exhibit and read the descriptions to each piece. Super duper neat stuff that focused more so on Kurt Cobain during his adolescence, which I liked. My favorite part was the video playing of the Final version vs director's cut of the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" music video. I did not know that the history of the music video ran that deep!

I am from Belgium but my girlfriend lives near Olympia. Everytime i visit i make her take me to…read moreAberdeen to reminisce at Kurts and Nirvanas birthplace. I was 16 when Nirvana made it big and wil always feel a connection with the band and the place they originated from for several reasons i can't get into now. This was the first year we were able to visit the museum since it opened a year ago. Last time I was there there was just a mural but now it was a full fleshed museum full of decent Kurt related artifacts and a great giftshop for grunge fans.(left with several books and tshirts based on vintage band tshirts Kurt wore). The artifacts were great but the experience wouldn't be half as amazing without the very insightfull tour guide. i have read 15 grunge books, 4 nirvana books, and it was stil full of inside knowledge I had never heard about. On top of that it was so amazing to hear the owners and people work there talk about their common pasion for everything grunge and Kurt Cobain. Talking to them really lifted to whole experience and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. Looking forward to going back next year to see what they added and do the tour of the Cobains resedence. I love their sincerity, pasion and heart they bring to this
