Wow, what a show! "White Christmas" opens on Thursday!

11/25/2024

The show must go on, and thanks to a bit of a Christmas miracle, "White Christmas" is opening on Thanksgiving day! Because we're still working on a few details to get our new theatre ready, we're thrilled to partner with Christ Lutheran Church in Allentown, where we'll be presenting our first few shows.

While the show isn't happening in our new home, everything else about your experience will be the same. Our chef and culinary team will be preparing your food fresh to order, our amazing cast and production team have an entertaining production of the show to put you in the holiday spirit, and our staff is ready to welcome you with open arms and help you celebrate the holiday season with us.

While we hoped to open the show officially at our new theatre space, we are still thrilled to share this wonderful holiday show with you. We invite you to sit back, enjoy a great meal, and then be entertained by a heart-felt production of "White Christmas."

Since today is World Kindness Day, we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their kind words, support, and understanding as we navigate towards our opening date at our new location. Your positive energy has provided an incredible boost to all of us, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything. We're almost at the finish line, and we can't wait to share our new theatre with our guests. Until then, keep those positive vibes headed our way, and we'll see everyone real soon!

It's been a rough week here at the Pines. In addition to our current challenges, we just received the devastating news that one of our long-time employees recently passed away.

Richard was our sound and light tech from just about the day we opened in Allentown 14 years ago until just last summer. During every performance, you'd find him in the tech booth, surrounded by racks of computers, audio and video gear, light boards, sound effects playbacks, and more. He was an integral part of making the magic happen for our guests, and he knocked it out of the park with us for 14 years.

Beyond his role with the theatre, all of us will miss his quirky and encyclopedic knowledge of all things music; he kept many a cast member enthralled with this trivia before a performance.

We'll miss you Rich.

Share memories & support the family

It's been a week or so since we've updated everyone on our theatre opening, and unfortunately, we hit a bit of a snag. We discovered a sub-contractor who had a small, but very important, part to play in our opening did not deliver on goods and services that were contracted. Because of this, we are forced to push our opening back to the end of November.

We absolutely hate to have to share this news, but the silver lining is that we have found a new company to complete the task at hand, and we have a path forward to opening!

This certainly is not the post we want to be making on FB, and we are so sorry for anyone who has been inconvenienced by this delay in opening. We're currently reaching out to all affected ticket holders, and we ask for your your patience as we contact everyone individually.

EDIT:
We had a very "interesting" conversation with the third-party reseller this morning via phone. Long story short, they are no longer listing tickets for our production on their website.

ORIGINAL POST:
So, we just discovered that there is a relatively major third-party ticketing company attempting to sell tickets for our upcoming production of "White Christmas!" While we are extremely flattered that our productions are so amazing that this is happening, we want to let you know that you should only purchase your tickets directly through us here at the Pines. Upon investigation, not only are they marking the ticket price up about 47%, they are also offering tickets for sale that they don't even have from us! Which means that some unassuming consumer could buy tickets that this company doesn't actually have to sell.

Like we said, we are flattered, we are astonished, we are incredulous that a third-party reseller thinks we're so awesome that they are re-selling our tickets, but take it from us, you're better off purchasing directly from us here at the Pines. Not only will we sell you seats that are actually available, we'll do it without crazy up-charges, and we're actually humans who can answer any questions you may have about your visit.

In other news, tickets for "White Christmas, the Musical" are available directly from us, and we can't wait to entertain you here at the Pines!

We've had a number of folks ask when tickets go on sale for our upcoming shows, so we figured we'd keep everyone in the loop. Tickets for "White Christmas," 2025 season tickets, and gift cards are available now! Individual tickets for our 2025 season go on sale to the general public on October 1!

You can grab your tickets on our website at pinesdinnertheatre.com, by calling our box-office Wednesday through Friday, 12 pm - 5 pm, or by visiting us at the theatre for our first pop-up ticket sale on Saturday, October 5 from 12 pm -4 pm!

We can't wait to entertain you at our new location!

As we get closer to our opening for "White Christmas" we just wanted to take a moment to give a shout-out to all our contractors who are rocking it getting the theatre ready. The progress made over the past few weeks is nothing short of amazing, and these guys are making it happen!

We'll see you real soon at the brand new Pines Dinner Theatre!

It's a great day when we discovered that Google Maps street view has been updated with imagery of our new sign! Lots of progress is being made on our new location, and we'll be announcing our first pop-up ticketing date shortly!

WARNING: Long post ahead!

It’s been a bit since we’ve updated everyone on our new location for the Pines, and, quite frankly, it was because we didn’t have much information to share.

A number of folks have asked what was delaying our opening. We ran into a major bottleneck with the interior layout of the space. The company we hired to complete the construction plans ended up needing five months to finalize the design, and after that we needed the design approved by Third Party. By the time everything was said and done, we ended up having to do three revisions of the plans, with each revision taking about a month to get drafted and then finally after our third revision, approved. All in all, we spent approximately eight months JUST on the design phase of the project!

Now that we have that major hurdle behind us, things are moving at a much faster pace. The city of Allentown has approved our plans, very quickly issued us our building permit, and work has already begun to transform the space into our new theatre. We’ve approved the construction schedule, and barring any unforeseen craziness, we plan to be open in our new location for “White Christmas!”

At this point, we’re still working out details of “Always…Patsy Cline.” Every show we present requires us to pay a fee to a licensing company granting us permission to do the production. Unfortunately, because of the subject matter of the show, we are not only dealing with the licensing company, we also have to deal with the demands of the estate of Patsy Cline. The estate has very stringent regulations that need to be followed, and as such, we don’t have the flexibility that we would have with a different show title. As soon as we have details to announce concerning this show, we will let everyone know.

All of us here at the Pines want to thank everyone for your patience and understanding as we navigate this transition. Just a year ago, in our wildest dreams, we would never have expected to lose our former home of 14 years so abruptly. But, we’ve done the best we can to move forward with the next chapter of the Pines, and we thank you for all your well wishes and good mojo that you’ve sent our way. We are pushing as hard as we can to get open as soon as possible, and we all hope you understand that we are just as frustrated as you when we have to shuffle shows and performances around in response to delays and challenges of the fit-out of our new location.

So, at the end of the day, all of us again thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the support over the past few months. We know the wait has been longer than anticipated, but the end result will be worth it! We’ll see you real soon at our new location!
