Biblical Times Dinner Theater

Why go: Biblical Times Dinner Theater pairs a full dinner with a live gospel concert and a holographic theatrical production, delivering two complete shows in one evening for visitors looking for faith-based entertainment in Pigeon Forge.

About Biblical Times Dinner Theater

Biblical Times Dinner Theater sits on the Parkway near The Island and the Titanic Museum, bringing scripturally grounded productions to Pigeon Forge since the early 2000s. The show format divides each evening into two distinct halves. The first half is a live gospel concert spanning Southern Gospel, contemporary Christian music, hymns, and praise and worship, performed by a talented cast that shares testimonials and humor alongside the music. The second half shifts into a full theatrical production, where live performers work alongside state-of-the-art video mapping, projection, and holographic technology to transport the audience back to ancient Israel.

Productions are built on extensive scholarly research and reviewed by a biblical advisory council to ensure scriptural accuracy. Past shows have told the stories of Jesus, Moses, Ruth, Peter, Elijah, and Joseph. The 2026 production is The Prodigal: A Story of Hope and Redemption, performed by TFM Worship and starring the Tabb Family, tracing the parable of the Prodigal Son through the lens of forgiveness and grace.

Dinner is served during the first half. The current menu is an all-you-care-to-eat BBQ spread featuring pulled pork, beef pot roast with gravy, roasted chicken breast, baked mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, baked beans, sweet corn, dinner rolls, and apple and cherry glazed turnovers for dessert. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available on request.

In addition to the main dinner show, Biblical Times hosts special gospel concerts throughout the season featuring nationally known groups, and The Museums at Biblical Times, a separate on-site attraction consisting of three themed museums, is available for visitors who want to explore between shows or during the day.

Getting to Biblical Times Dinner Theater

Biblical Times Dinner Theater sits at 2391 Parkway in Pigeon Forge, near Traffic Light 3, roughly midway between the Titanic Museum and The Island. Free on-site parking is available in a shared lot adjacent to the building.

Why Choose Biblical Times Dinner Theater

For visitors who want faith-based entertainment that does not feel like a compromise on production quality, Biblical Times Dinner Theater earns its reputation. The combination of a full dinner, a live concert, and a theatrical production with modern holographic technology makes for an evening that covers a lot of ground in a single ticket.

• Two complete shows in one admission. A live gospel concert fills the first half while dinner is served. A full theatrical Biblical production with holographic staging fills the second. Neither feels rushed or abbreviated.
• Holographic and projection technology that sets it apart. The walls of the theater become the set, surrounding audiences in ancient environments that conventional stage design cannot replicate. The technology has been a signature of the theater for years and continues to be upgraded.
• Scripturally researched productions. Every show goes through a biblical advisory council before it reaches the stage. The historical and theological accuracy is a consistent point of distinction from other dinner entertainment options in the area.
• A welcoming environment for all ages. The content is clean, faith-centered, and appropriate for families, children, and older visitors alike. Groups, church outings, and multi-generational gatherings are common here.
• Year-round programming with multiple shows daily. Unlike seasonal dinner theaters, Biblical Times operates Monday through Saturday year-round, with multiple show times each day, giving visitors scheduling flexibility that most dinner shows cannot match.

Must Do

Every show at Biblical Times follows the same two-part structure, but a few elements within that experience stand out as not-to-miss moments during any visit.

• The Holographic Production. The second-half theatrical show is the centerpiece of the evening. The holographic and video mapping technology transforms the theater walls into ancient landscapes, immersing the audience in the Biblical story in a way that live staging alone cannot achieve. Give yourself time to settle in and let the visuals do their work.
• The Gospel Concert. The first half often surprises visitors who came primarily for the theater. The cast performs across multiple Christian genres, from Southern Gospel to contemporary praise and worship, and the energy in the room builds quickly. If gospel music is meaningful to you, this half of the show may be the one you remember most.
• The Museums at Biblical Times. The three on-site museums are a separate ticketed attraction that can be visited before or between shows. If you are spending time in Pigeon Forge on the day of your show, arriving early to walk through the museums adds a substantive layer to the visit without requiring a second trip.

What to Expect

Biblical Times Dinner Theater is a sit-down, reserved-seating experience in a dedicated performance theater, not a restaurant with a stage in the corner. Knowing how the evening runs helps you get the most from it.

• Show duration and timing. Each show runs approximately 2.5 hours from food service through dismissal. Seating and dinner service begin before the show starts, so plan to arrive a few minutes early to settle in before the concert begins. Check in at the box office with your name; no printed ticket is required.
• Reserved seating at tables. Seats are assigned at tables rather than in rows. The theater features comfortable, generously sized seating. An optional upgraded seat with a removable tray is available for an additional charge at the box office.
• Dietary needs. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available on request. Note them when booking so the kitchen can prepare accordingly. Children’s meals are also available on request.
• Wheelchair accessibility. Accessible seating is available in the front row. Request it in the comments section when booking online, or call ahead to reserve.
• Tickets and cancellations. Tickets are booked through the theater’s official website via FareHarbor. Refunds are available up to the day of the show. Group reservations are welcomed and common for church outings.
• Parking and dress. Parking in the adjacent lot is free. The dress code is casual.
• Show schedule varies. Multiple shows run daily Monday through Saturday, and the lineup can shift seasonally. Check the official website for current showtimes before booking.
