Prather Productions is a theatrical company comprising two professional dinner theatres and a national tour division.

Both theatres feature Broadway-style musicals and comedies combined with a meal. Children’s Theatre and concerts are also featured throughout the season.

Prather Productions’ National Tour Division tours one non-Equity musical tour each year.

Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre is located in the heart of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, Lancaster, Pennsylvania and is only three hours from New York City with accessibility by train or car and one hour to Baltimore.

Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre in Ft Myers, Florida is near Fort Myers Beach and beautiful Sanibel Island. For water sports enthusiasts or sun gods, it’s a paradise.

Our actors are all professionals, with most of them having college degrees in Theatre Performance, Musical Theatre, Dance, and other Performing Arts categories, and are selected at national auditions each year.

Rehearsals begin 14 days prior to the performance Opening Date.
Schedules vary from 8-10 performances per week.
Multiple show contracts are available with the same or different theatres. When national tours are scheduled for our productions, a tour contract will be issued.

If cast, we provide you with the required papers for school clearance.
