Tell me a brief history of the theater.
Leavenworth Summer Theater began as the vision of John and Susan Wagner and Bill Weis in 1994. That opening season was hampered by devastating fires in the Leavenworth area in addition to the normal first year struggles, and the theater suffered severe financial losses. The Wagners decided to give it one more try in the summer of 1995 with a production of The Sound of Music. A great cast, a terrific outdoor location, and the natural compatibility of the show with Leavenworth’s Bavarian theme created a sensationally successful production. Today, Leavenworth Summer Theater is the largest theater between Seattle and Spokane, with more than 20,000 people expected for this year’s productions.
How far is it from Seattle?
It’s usually a 2 1/2 to 3 hour drive depending on traffic. You should allow at least an extra hour in case of road construction delays. Late arrivals are seated at the back of the theater. To avoid any problem, come early and enjoy the Leavenworth area, downtown shopping and restaurants.
Where can I find lodging?
Visit the Leavenworth Chamber of Commerce web site for information, phone numbers and links to lodging sites on the Internet. www.leavenworth.org
May I donate my tickets?
Yes. If you cannot attend your performance and do not wish to give your tickets to friends or family, your tickets may be donated for tax credit. Simply return your tickets in person or by mail to the Ticket Office before the scheduled performance and the box office will give you a receipt for the tickets.
How far a walk is it to each site from the parking area?
It is about 3 blocks from the parking area to the seating area at both the Ski Hill and Hatchery Park. At the Ski Hill, there is a moderate upwards slope. There is a handicapped van available at the Ski Hill for those with physical problems which would make it difficult for them to walk uphill. Please allow at least 20 minutes to park and walk to the theater in all locations. Latecomers will be seated at the back of the theater, not in their reserved seats.
Could we bring our own picnic dinner and eat it before the show?
There are no picnic table facilities at either the FestHalle or the Ski Hill. There are limited picnicking facilities at Hatchery Park; however, picnickers are discouraged, as picnic food may attract wasps near the seating area.
What kind of handicapped access is there?
There is handicapped parking at all sites. At the Hatchery, the walk from the parking area to the seating area is flat, half paved and half gravel. At the Ski Hill, there is a wheelchair accessible van to take patrons from the entry area to the drop-off point near the seating area, from which there is an additional short walk (or roll) to the handicapped access walkway and the amphitheater. The FestHalle has limited handicapped parking next to the facility, and a drop-off point at the main entrance.
Are there chairs at the theater?
All seating is reserved, and chairs are in place in all 3 facilities. Please do not bring your own chairs; there will be no place for them. You may bring blankets for warmth, but not to sit on.
Can we have our wedding at the Ski Hill?
Our contract with the U.S. Forest Service allows for performances of The Sound of Music and one fundraising concert annually by the Leavenworth Winter Sports Club at the Ski Hill amphitheater. No other use is permitted.
What if it snows?
Do you enjoy coming to our summer shows, but are reluctant to brave the snowy passes for our Christmas offering? The train is your answer. Amtrak now makes a stop in Leavenworth. Visit Amtrak online at www.amtrak.com for information and reservations. The Leavenworth Chamber website also has Amtrak and ‘train station to town’ shuttle information: www.leavenworth.org
