TO SUCCEED, WE NEED YOUR HELP.
Since Fort Flagler was reactivated in 1941, the theater building has been the beating heart of the fort. In 2020, the theater, in need of major repairs, closed its doors.
Friends of Fort Flagler (FoFF) is partnering with Washington State Parks (WSP) to restore this valuable community asset—and in doing so doing, honor our history.
BRINGING BACK A VERSATILE COMMUNITY SPACE.
With a capacity for 250+ people, the theater is the only venue on Marrowstone Island for large-scale events.
Versatile enough to host educational lectures, concerts, reunions, weddings, theater productions, and more, this unique space will serve locals and visitors alike.
WHAT WE’RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE.
Thanks to FoFF’s efforts, a $1.5 million capital budget was awarded, and exterior restoration is underway.
WSP will manage this work and is committed to ongoing building maintenance.
FoFF is responsible for raising $140,000 for interior renovations and providing the volunteer labor to complete this work.
How will the funds be used?
The funds that FoFF raises will be used for these items:
- Flooring
- Lighting
- Acoustic panels
- Audio/visual equipment
- Tables
- Historical décor
- Window trim and treatments
- Food preparation area
Interested in volunteering?
We’ll need lots of hands-on labor beginning in the fall of 2025 to work on the interior restoration. We’d love to have you on the team.
Register to volunteer today, and we’ll be in touch.
