    Unfinished business, this review. So let me have a go at it right now. I've half an hour to kill…read morebefore "doggy-dinner-time" anyhooo. There's always something magical going on in Port Townsend. Its the nature of the place. A brief glance at either the "PT Leader" or "The Peninsula Daily News" will offer up many choices... Perhaps a movie? (Three venues plus an old-fashioned Drive-In movie theater.) Perhaps a show at the Upstage or Mondresa Castle? Perhaps a class or two out at Fort Worden. (Goddard has an extension here as does Peninsula College.) I could continue, but shall not. This is a review of the Key CIty Public Theatre which holds its own against every other possible choice of entertainment in town . It's rare that a KCPT performance is not sold out. It's rarer still if a KCPT is a flop. Just doesn't happen. 'Twas early summer and I was in town. "MacBeth" was playing at Chetzemoka Park, and I thought to go. KCPT had pulled out the stops with this performance, staging it in a corner of the park. Now Chetzemoka Park is quite spectacular. Green grass and roses on a bluff overlooking Puget Sound. Boats of all sizes and shapes floating leisurely in an out of the harbor. Clouds floating in the sky. Eagles soaring. Against this backdrop, MacBeth would appear out of place. Too bloody. Too martial. So wisely, KCPT chose a small green glen within the park, placed the audience with their backs to the Sound. Succeeded in transporting the whole audience back in time to a magical place,perhaps somewhere near Scotland, where Shakepeare's drama could realistically unfold. Success! Even though the lead actor had been injured the day before and the role was now played by the director. A perfect five stars! The next day, I said to myself, why not try another KCPT production? "BARK: The Musical" was playing at the tiny KCPT playhouse on the waterfront. And of course, this production, too was five stars. Laughed a lot, cried a bit, as actors performed their doggishly funny routines. Oh...and got the last seat in the house before the performance sold out. Front and center, first row. Perfect ! And under twenty dollars. Try getting to a Broadway show for that kinda chump change. KCPT has my vote. The actors are very good. (Sometimes appearing with permission from Actors Equity.) The plays are perfectly executed and appropriate to their settings. And... As a bonus...the audience. Intelligent. Interactive. Interesting. What's not to like? A magical company for a magical town. But...gotta go now... My half-hour is up, the dogs are anxiously awaiting their repast. May start howling soon... Doggy dinnertime here at Casa Canine. Tonght we're having Hill's Science Diet. Weight Loss Formula. You are most welcome to join us. If you lick your bowl clean. And guard it carefully. We don't stand on ceremony around here. Catch ya at KCPT next time I'm there. They tell me Dracula's going to be there for Hallowe'en....you might still be able to buy a ticket. Definitely worth sinking your teeth into that production. Give it a go.

    Here's the thing: the shows may or may not be good. I have not been there in years, mostly because…read moreDenise Winter (artistic director) has nudged the community right out the door. Denise wants "professional actors" to show all us local yokels how to do theater. She does this while promoting this as a "local theater." That is dishonesty in its purest form. This theater is now local by location ONLY. They have eliminated (willingly, I might add) any element of the uniqueness of Port Townsend from the theater are now giving you only the barest of bare minimums of the talent that Port Townsend has to offer. Take this to heart the next time you are looking for good, quality, PORT TOWNSEND talent.

    The Starlight Room is a beautiful experience…read more Antique style cushy couches with sparkly chandeliers. What a unique experience! People will come from other cities to visit the Starlight Room. There are other smaller theaters here I still need to check out, the Rose Theater and the Rosebud. I love the kind theater staff and popcorn seller. Beer is also available. The popcorn is especially delicious. You can flavor it yourself with a selection of creative savory spices.

    The Rose Theatre is one of the jewels of Port Townsend. I've never seen a theater like it before…read more Delicious fresh popped popcorn (without the rancid oil smell), REAL butter, numerous toppings to flavor your popcorn, savory and sweet, from cinnamon/sugar to nutritional yeast. YUM! And the prices are reasonable. No gouging here. The concessions are friendly and homey. You can get a cup of ice and they don't charge you for the cup! The usual candy selection, plus some exotic candies and sometimes even baked goodies. The entire lobby walls are covered in vintage movie posters. Ticket prices are ridiculously low! Most movies are only $12 for adults. If you're a member (membership begins at $100/year,) you can get $2 off the ticket price, plus earn points for other freebies and discounts. The whole theater is styled like the vintage theaters from the golden age of cinema. Velvet seats. Even hand-printed chalkboard marquees over the theater entrances. Old fashioned settees in the room off the lobby, and a vintage box office window. One of the theaters features hand-painted murals on the walls. One has been totally redecorated with sofa seating and little tea tables. Personal touch: Most movies begin with a personal description of the film to be shown, narrated by one of the theater's friendly staff. They might also include trivia or other items of interest about the director or the making of the film. There are no annoying commercials. Just a slideshow while you're waiting, of advertisements from local businesses. Then just a few previews and your movie starts. The sound quality is great and the theaters are small, so you always get a good seat. The theater is owned and run by local Port Townsend residents, who are often there, and will always try to make time for a question or a chat or even just a quick hello between rushing off to check the projector or close the heavy red velvet drapes before the film starts or fill a bag of popcorn. They run a selection of the latest box office hits, classic films, and even ballets and operas. This is especially special since we are so far away from being able to visit such amazing venues as the Met in person. If you're ever in Port Townsend, you MUST make time for a movie visit at the Rose. Going to the Rose Theatre is more than going to the movies, it's a total immersive experience! http://rosetheatre.com One comment about other Yelp reviews: There are new owners who have done a lot to improve the movie-goer experience over the past couple of years. Please ignore negative reviews from a few years ago. Some are petty and others just don't apply anymore. Thanks.
