235 Taylor St. 360-385-1089
The Rose opened as a vaudeville house in 1907. They've experienced the transition from live theatre to silent film, to talkies, to Technicolor, and now to digital projection. They endeavor to bring the people of the Olympic Peninsula not only world-class film, but also high-definition ballet, opera and plays from across the globe. They invite you to experience a film at the Rose, where the popcorn is fresh, the butter is real, the sound is superb, and every show is personally introduced by our host. If you arrive early, you might even find a seat in our cozy balcony! |
