Pioneer Playhouse

Pioneer Playhouse Backroads-n-bluegrass will lead you to Kentucky's oldest outdoor theatre, lovingly hand built from recycled materials spanning 200 years.
(227)

But our best feature is the one we didn't build - the roof! Our roof is the whole sky... Enjoy a pre-show meal and great entertainment in an historic setting built
from reclaimed and recycled materials spanning two hundred years of Kentucky
history. Currently celebrating 73 years, Pioneer Playhouse is a state historic landmark,
offering unforgettable stories, under the stars!
