Biblical Times Dinner Theater Pigeon Forge Tennessee 08 2022

 We have been going to Gatlinburg and the Pigeon Forge area for years now, and believe it or not, we JUST started going to the dinner theater shows!

We have talked about it before, but we always kinda talk ourselves out of it....  

So, we saw Pirates a few months ago and loved it!  Seeing "Peter" performed at Biblical Times Dinner Theater would be my second experience with a show in the GSM area.

We drove in to town a little late and saw that a performance would be starting soon.  We stopped in hopping to get tickets.  We were told that tickets were available, but not with a dinner.  Good to know that you can get a non dinner ticket, but we were hungry, so we passed on a non meal performance, but we came back the next night.

Tickets were $50, which is cheaper than some of the other shows in town.  We got to our seats around 6 for the start of the show.  A nice, small salad was waiting for us at our seat tray.

The first 45 minutes of the show involved about a 45 minute gospel music performance by the same actors who would be in the play.  They sang (very well!) to a prerecorded music track.

I'm personally not a huge fan of this sort of thing- as I kinda felt like I was at church, but it was entertaining.

Food service occurred only during this first part of the show.  The food was above average and the 2 people that they had taking care of the theater were quick and efficient. 

After an intermission, the play/musical started.  I would say that was another 90 minutes or so (putting the whole thing at well over the advertised 2 hours, which was fine with us).

There is a small cast of half a dozen or so, and they interact some with prerecorded other actors.  There is also a very cool projection onto a screen system they use for set changes.  This is different, and kind of adds another element making this a unique experience.

After the performance, the actors came out to say hello and pose for photos.

This was not the over the top performance like you might see at one of the other venues, but we still enjoyed it a lot.  These guys are scrappy, and doing a lot with a very small team.  In fact, the fellow who sold us out ticket later popped up in the performance.

This is different and unique and I really like what they are doing.
