Forest Theater Foundation
In 2010, the community celebrated the centennial celebration of the historic site. Currently, the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea is planning a significant renovation of the aging facility, which is again showing considerable wear and tear. Pacific Repertory Theatre, the Forest Theater Guild, and PacRep's education "SoDA" (School of Dramatic Arts) program continue to bring theatre instruction and the joy of live performance to the beautiful Forest Theater. In 1999, the user-groups joined together to form the Forest Theater Foundation, dedicated “to the preservation and enhancement of the Forest Theater and its historic programs”. The Forest Theater Foundation’s aim is to continue the rich history of the theater, inspiring those who create the magic at the unique “open-air playhouse”, while maintaining the Forest Theater as a treasure for residents and visitors alike. Longtime Carmel advocate and former mayor Perry Newberry perhaps said it best: "There is no other thing here – save only Carmel's beauty – more important to preserve and protect than the Forest Theater."
