Pinewood Performing Arts

As summer comes to a close, let's take a moment to reminisce about our production of Disney's Tarzan! 🌿✨ Here are some amazing moments that were captured , thanks to the wonderful Cohagen Wilkinson

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support us this year and every year at the bowl. The magic under the stars wouldn't be possible without your enthusiasm and support.

We cherish these memories and look forward to creating more with you! 💫🌌

GO, go, GOOO!! In 2025, Pinewood Performing Arts proudly presents Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!💚💙💛💜❤️

One of the most enduring shows of all time, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers and the coat of many colors. Told entirely through song with the help of a main character Narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar’s wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams!
