LOCATION: The Admiral Theatre is located at 515 Pacific Avenue, Bremerton, WA 98337. Approximately 90 minutes from Seattle-Tacoma Int’l Airport. Auto and Passenger Ferry service to downtown Seattle runs every 1-2 hours through the day with less service during evenings and weekends. It is a 60 minute ferry ride.
DIRECTIONS: Bremerton is just a short drive from Seattle, the Sea-Tac Airport, and Tacoma via I-5 to Hwy 16 West, to Hwy 3 North. Take the Kitsap Way Exit from Hwy 3, turn east. Kitsap Way becomes Sixth Street as you enter the Central Business District. Turn right on Pacific Avenue. The Admiral Theatre is on the corner of Fifth and Pacific. Alternatively, take the ferry from Downtown Seattle to Bremerton, stay in the left lane and turn left on Burwell. Turn right at the light on Pacific Avenue, and the Admiral Theatre will be just ahead on the left.
PARKING: Up to eight parallel parking spaces along 5th street are available to productions using the theatre. Spaces will be coned off in advance by the tech crew for presented events. Additional bus parking is available about three blocks from the theatre. With the appropriate permits obtained in advance, the back alley can be used for truck parking.
LOADING: There is no stage-level loading at the theatre. Load-in is accomplished from the back alley between 5th and 6th street through a 10’x10’ loading door into a staging area. All gear must then be transferred through a 10’ wide by 8’ high 1” doorway onto the loading elevator (6000 lbs weight limit) which is 12’ wide by 8’-4” deep by 12’ high. The elevator goes up to the backstage area where all gear is transferred and can be ramped down a slight incline (10” drop) through an 11’-8” wide by 10’ high doorway to the stage at USL. Load-in to the house can be accomplished via the main entrance on Pacific through a 3’ wide doorway, or up a short flight (4’ rise) of stairs through 5’W x10’H doors.
