Every summer, the hills around Leavenworth come alive with happy theatre goers who wait the whole year for this theatrical treat. The Leavenworth Summer Theater started in 1994 as a vision of Bill Weis and Susan and John Wagner. Their idea to put together world-class artists with a world-class venue resulted in the biggest summer theatre between Spokane and Seattle. Two of the venues are under the stars: Ski Hill Amphitheater and Hatchery Park Stage.

One is in the downtown air-conditioned Festhalle Theater. Some of the shows, such as Sound of Music, are so popular and well received that families make it an annual family pilgrimage to come to Leavenworth to attend it. It is not unusual that more than 20,000 people attend the festival during the two summer months.
