Upcoming Events at Forest Theater At Pacific Repertory Theatre
Welcome to the Forest Theater at Pacific Repertory Theatre, a charming outdoor amphitheater in Carmel-by-the-Sea. With an outdoor seating capacity of 540 and a compact indoor space, PacRep stages acclaimed productions including PacRep showcases and the Carmel Shakespeare Festival, plus fall concerts by the Monterey Symphony. The venue is a beloved part of the Monterey Peninsula’s arts scene, set against the scenic backdrop of Mountain View Ave & Santa Rita St. Whether you’re catching a sunset performance or an intimate indoor show, we’ve got you covered with practical guidance on seating, parking, transit, and nearby stays and dining. Secure your seats with ease using our trusted, straightforward service.
Important notes: Outdoor seating is open and unassigned, so arrive early for the best vantage points. The indoor theater seats great seats and offers a more intimate setting. The Forest Theater has undergone renovations and remains active under continued city and PacRep management.
Parking is limited on-site at the Forest Theater. Plan to arrive early and consider street parking options and a designated passenger drop-off area. Handicap spaces are limited, so if accessibility is a priority, contact us for guidance on best arrival times and routes. For public transit, Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) serves the area with routes such as Route 94 Carmel–Sand City and Route 5 Monterey–Carmel Rancho; schedules vary, so check current timetables before you go.
To make a full weekend of your visit, explore nearby hotels like Cypress Inn in downtown Carmel and La Playa Carmel on Camino Real at 8th Ave. We also recommend affiliated partners for convenient lodging and dining options to complement your night at the Forest Theater. If you’re planning multiple events, remember each performance date is treated as its own experience, whether outdoors or indoors. We’re here to help you secure your seats and enjoy the show.
