It’s amazing to think that all of us at the Pines are celebrating our 16th year entertaining guests from all across the country. Looking back, we never in our wildest dreams would have expected our little theatre to grow into such a vibrant and exciting experience.
But, to talk about the Pines Dinner Theatre, we have to go back in time just a bit to before the Pines was even a figment of our founders’ imagination. Back in the summer of 1996, theatre producers Bev and Larry Blatt were approached by the Kutztown German Festival to stage a production of “Plain and Fancy” as an additional activity for the festival. While the show was a hit artistically, the festival couldn’t justify the cost, and after one summer, “Plain and Fancy” was pulled from the Festival schedule. Undeterred, the Blatts mounted the show on their own, renting the local high school auditorium and producing the show on their own. This single production turned into summer seasons, and by 1999, the Blatts opened their own theatre, including an all-you-care-to-eat PA Dutch family style meal just up the street from the original performance of “Plain and Fancy.”
Fast forward a few years to Blatt’s Dinner Theatre entering its 7th season. Bev and Larry were ready for a break, and decided to retire from the entertainment business. And that is when the Pines was created. Oliver Blatt, along with Stacey Yoder started a new company to continue the legacy of Blatt’s Dinner Theatre, but under a different name. Enough elements of the experience changed that the decision was made to create a new dining and show experience.
So, in the fall of 2005, The Pines Dinner Theatre (yes, at one point “The” was part of the official name) opened in Slatington with a production of “Smoke On the Mountain.” After hundreds of performances, the Pines had finally outgrown its location, and work began in earnest to find a new home. After months of searching and even more months of work of renovations, the Pines Dinner Theatre opened at its current location in the heart of the West End Theatre District in Allentown on January 28, 2010.
Nine seasons later, we’ve been honored as one of the top ten unmissable dinner theatres in the country by culturetrip.com, one of the top sixteen theatres in the country by Group Travel Leader, along with a number of accolades from local publications for both our shows and our food. We’ve entertained hundreds of thousands of guests over the course of over fifty productions in our intimate theatre.
All that being said, we still go back to the opening statement that we said to our very first employees when we opened in Slatington. “We will never be the biggest dinner theatre, and we may not have the biggest stage or the largest dining room, but we will provide the best guest experience to every patron. Every time.” We’ve stuck with that mantra from opening day, and we’re proud to stick with it until the day the final curtain comes down.
Welcome to the Pines Dinner Theatre, the Lehigh Valley’s most unique dining and show experience. We’re so glad you’re here!
