USA Today newspaper:
Under 10 great places for “Theatre Under The Stars” picks the John Muir Amphitheater as one of the 10 Best:
“Sure, the play is the thing. But at outdoor theaters hosting historical dramas, Shakespearean festivals and
religious plays, so is the setting. Scott Parker, director of the Institute of Outdoor Drama at the University
of North Carolina - Chapel Hill (www.unc.edu/depts/outdoor),
steers USA Today’s Laura Bly to some summer favorites where the scenery plays a leading role.”
SITE PLAN - John Muir Festival Center
In rep. July 25 - Sept. 11, 2005 - Three outdoor musical spectaculars:
Mountain Days: The John Muir Musical
“It’s only fitting that the story of one of the world’s greatest naturalists be told outdoors”, in an
amphitheater at the edge of the Carquinez Strait not far from Muir’s homestead. The play encompasses
everything from the Sierra Club founder’s early days in Scotland to his first glimpse of Yosemite
Falls. Theatergoers are welcome to picnic on the grounds.
