board of directors. Rebranded as a performing arts center, the new Admiral Theatre began booking major acts, adding a dinner-theater capability, and adding the technical capabilities to stage everything from theatrical musicals to one-man performances to major concerts. Attempting to appeal to an all-ages demographic, the theater has welcomed a number of stage productions like “Menopause, The Musical,” “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” “Footloose,” and — on April 24 at 7 p.m. — “Hair, The Broadway Musical.” Solo acts have included Leo Kottke, Judy Collins, Richie Havens, Arlo Guthrie, Roger McGuinn, and Chris Isaak. The Big Band sound of Duke Ellington, Doc Severinsen
and Cab Calloway have graced the stage of the Admiral. Comedy acts like Joan Rivers and The Smothers Brothers have brought the house down. From theater to comedy to rock to country, there’s something for everyone at this venue. And the community has responded. Most shows are sponsored by local businesses and season sponsors like Kitsap Bank, Reid Real Estate, and West Hills Auto Plex. Other businesses sponsor individual shows. And the people have been huge supporters. Build it and they will come. A steady stream of people from Seattle, Tacoma and Kitsap County regularly buy up all of the 1,000 seats available. And the Admiral is affordable. Ticket prices range from $10 to $60 for dinner and a show. Two bars support the main floor and balcony
seating. There’s not a bad seat in the house. The Admiral produces a season of shows that run from September through June. The theater is also available for weddings, meetings, auctions, or any other group gatherings. You can arrange for full dining services and technical requirements for sound, video, and lighting, as required. So it’s actually possible to reorient your night life to Bremerton. Just a halfhour away from the island, great theater, entertainment, and dining is available and affordable. Check out the website, www. admiraltheatre.org, for upcoming performances. — Chad Haight is director of operations at the Admiral Theatre.
