Pines Theater

You’ve picnicked here. Your kids have ridden the train. You walked loops around the Sanctuary – with or without the dogs.  You attended weddings and soaked up the sun, here. You know it as Look Park. And you know that signature stone archway as its theater, as The Pines.

The Pines isn’t Broadway or some hollowed-out, cookie-cutter arena, way out of the way. You won’t get stuck in some creaky old chair. What the Pines Theater is, is something we can call our own. Right here, right in the neighborhood and down the block. It’s music all summer long, on your lawn chair, under the stars…and, under those pine trees.

Two words come to mind: Majestic and intimate.

It’s the music you want to hear. Think John Fogerty. Lyle Lovett. Even Tom Jones, Nora Jones, and Bob Dylan. It’s the wedding, the occasions, the concerts for the causes you care about. It’s a venue for musicians who care about their patrons. And patrons who care about their community. A community known for giving back.

And now, it’s the Pines Theater that needs some playing for. She’s got a glorious history. And with history comes upgrading and preserving.
