About request an edit to this page

The original founding Bohemian community theater troupe of Carmel.  Established in 1909 by the San Francisco Bohemian writers, poets and artists of the turn of the century - the likes of Jack London, Mary Austin, George & Carrie Sterling and Carmel's Poet - Robinson Jeffers.  The founding Director of the FTG, Herbert Heron and his Polish Princess wife, Opal formed the first community theater of this artist community in the nature forested amphitheater located at Santa Rita & Moutain View in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.
The FOREST THEATER GUILD'S 2014 Season was cancelled due to the City of Carmel's closure for much needed repairs to the historic wooden stage and facilities.  For more information about the next season and upcoming events that are sponsored or produced by this home theater troupe, please go to  www.foresttheaterguild.org
