FOREST THEATER
Carmel-by-the-Sea's Forest Theater is the “oldest outdoor theater west of the Rockies.” Around 1908, a group of visionaries, including Mary Austin, Herbert Heron and Michael Williams, conceived of the idea for locally produced, directed and acted plays in an open-air theater. It was subsequently founded in 1910; the first production at Carmel-by-the-Sea’s Outdoor Theater was “David.” The Forest Theater was deeded to the city of Carmel-by-the-Sea in 1937.
