Port Townsend's beloved Rose Theater has added some new programs which bring a new dimension to the arts here in our little city of Port Townsend.
This charming little theater opened in Downtown Port Townsend in the 1930's and closed sometime in the 50's. Re-opened in the early 1990's by Rocky Friedman, it is a delightful little theater with one small theater seating about 75 to 100, (I am guessing) with a balcony, and a tiny theater called the Rosebud seating about 35 to 50 people. Charming 30's architecture and decor, intimate atmosphere and the best popcorn you ever tasted.
School of Athens Passionate Minds Lecture Series , Nation, from the London National Theater in HD, and
La Danse, the Paris Opera Ballet. Something for everyone with Avatar held over.

Hi, Sandra. Our theater here in Jamestown, Tennessee isn't nearly as cute but the cost is only $2. We keep an eye out for first-run movies and it's a great girls' night out! Last week my riding buddies and I saw Meryl Streep in "It's Complicated" (she never disappoints) and two weeks ago, we enjoyed Sandra Bullock in "Blind Side" (she doesn't diaappoint, either!) What a bargain!
Hi Sandra, Port Townsend is one of our most favorite places to visit. We've discussed living there as it has so many wonderful features, including the Rose. There is a great feeling of history and culture, along with very friendly folks. Considered going there today, in fact, but we will make the trip soon. Take care.
Frank, Port Townsend is truly an amazing little place. I too began my Real Estate career in California, and am still licensed there. I moved here 10 years ago and never have regretted it. One of the best things about Port Townsend is that it is so easy to get to Seattle when you need a big city fix. Thanks for reading my post, and do visit often.
