General Information
Key City Public
Theatre, formerly Key City Players, is celebrating 50 years as Port
Townsend and Jefferson County’s premier theatre.
Key City Public Theatre’s
mission is to foster artistic expression that entertains, educates
and engages our community while developing an accessible and
relevant theatre that produces new works, contemporary plays and
innovative interpretations of classics that captivate, challenge and
celebrate our audiences and artists.
Our year-round
programming reaches 6,000 audience members annually, due to the
efforts of 400+ volunteers both on and off stage. Through education,
outreach and family programs, the performing arts are brought to
life for the broadest regional audience.
Building on our
successful history, in 2006 we began planning for a
new 150-seat theatre to
triple our capacity and better serve our community.
Key City Public Theatre
is located in Port Townsend, Washington, the Olympic Peninsula’s
Victorian Seaport and Arts Community. Our
playhouse is located in the heart of the historic downtown district,
adjacent to Point Hudson Marina and within walking distance of
dozens of fine restaurants and many charming inns, hotels and
bed-and-breakfast accommodations.
For Port Townsend visitor
information, see www.enjoypt.com
and

We are funded in part by
the Port Townsend Arts Commission, a local agency that supports
public programs in the arts.
Key City Public Theatre is a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All donations are tax deductible
to the full extent of the law.
Artistic Director
In 2005, Key City Players
hired Denise Winter as Artistic Director, bringing an end to our
long all-volunteer history and ushering in a new era of
professionalism.
Denise Winter brings nearly 20 years of professional theatre
experience to KCPT. Before arriving in Port Townsend,
she served on the artistic staff of six Tony Award-winning regional
theatres and performed in 48 states, plus Canada and China, with
companies such as the New York City Opera, The Children’s Theatre
Company and American Repertory Theatre. She currently tours the U.S.
as production stage manager for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular
starring the Rockettes.
