Pickleville Playhouse

Perhaps the best playhouse I have ever been to! I laughed so hard at Juanito Bandito I couldn t breath! A small theater. All the seats are good. The actors helped seat patrons. The actors helped with intermission concessions. The actors were great actors and had me laughing all night with their short improvs throughout the play. All around family fun.

This place is the best. Been coming here for as long as I can remember. It never disappoints. We sat on the front row this time and really enjoyed the show. I had an 11 month old on my lap and although he was enthralled by Juanito Bandito's incredible mustache and the rippity rap-tastic music, it was really Luke Sheppard on the piano/harmonica/saxophone that entertained. He was unbelievable. My son couldn't get enough of that piano playing man. Luke snuck little waves and eyebrow raises that made my kid scream with excitement. It's the little touches like that that make Pickleville Playhouse something I'll continue to support for a long time to come.

Just watch out for the "Tornado full of dirty diapers that has picked up a lost Pokemon Go player." You won't be disappointed, trust me.

We didn't do the dinner this year, which we usually do. It seems to be hit and miss. The food is never terribly amazing, but it's not bad. It's been years since I've had the barbecue, so things may have changed. Strong work Pickleville.

4.5 stars. Yummy dinner! Fun show, with great young actors. It was a little hard to hear at times, so we missed some of the jokes.

What a fun place to go! We went as an LDS Young Women's group during girl's camp. The girls absolutely loved it!

It's the most iconic place in Bear Lake! It's a must go to place when you're up there! They have great entertainment and it is extremely funny

We bought tickets for a weekday matinee. We drove 60 miles, arrived at the show, and were told show had been cancelled. They then told us they had notified everyone, but later acknowledged this was not true. They refunded the ticket price, but refused to make it right - for their dishonesty. and for the inconvenience they caused for us.
Disappointed, and we learned a lesson about their owner and management.

Family friendly. Hilarious. Good food. What a great evening and memory with our family aged 49 to 10. We all love Juanito Bandito!

We went to Who Shot Juanito Bandito one night and Tarzan the next. Both were awesome! Going to the dinner beforehand is always good, relaxing and enjoyable. Actors are very friendly. Overall, a great activity while visiting Bear Lake.

Such a family favorite! We will go and go again. Loved everything about it!

Very entertaining. I'm not a fan of musicals, but my wife and the rest of my family had a great time. The cast was also very friendly and interacted with the audience better than I've seen elsewhere. I highly recommend going if theater is an interest for you, definitely worth it.

This place was fun. We watched the Little Mermaid here. The kids loved the interaction with the actors and were mesmerized by the show. We didnt expect such professionalism at a small place next to bear lake! We can't wait to go again!

Amazing performance with wonderful actors! The vocals we're great and we could hear and see everything. Not a bad seat in the house!

Just saw Shootout at Shadow Mountain with my two grandsons ages 7 & 8. We had so much fun. I haven t laughed that hard for a long time and the boys keep quoting lines from the play and laughing about it. Family friendly and an Amazingly talented cast!! A must see while at Bear Lake!

The group right next to us didn't wear masks the entire time. I talked to the employees and asked them to do something during intermission. They told me that if I had a problem, then I could talk to the group myself. Other groups around the theater were half wearing the masks, and the theater did nothing about it. Super disappointed in the theater. Good show, but they don't value their guest safety.

This week we did a family reunion at Bear Lake and my whole family went and watched Who Shot Juanito Bandito. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I'm a 40 year old guy and I laughed so hard I cried. Our whole family loved it and can't wait to go back next year.

Outside dinner was ok, buffet fajitas. Play was poor. Wasn't really a melodrama, maybe a farce but really poor plot. Actors were good, but many of the "inside" jokes must have been too inside to really land funny. Had to be told when they went off script and ad lib'd, since most if the play was so disconnected.

They do a fabulous show everytime. It's well worth your time!!

Fun play, but worth the extra money to sit closer. Couldn't see very well from the balcony.

Was a fun little play I saw with my family that you can bring your kids of all ages too

Very funny. Not sure i knew what was going on half the time but definitely a hoot. Actors come out front afterwards and it s fun to see them stay in character while greeting guests.

This place was great! I went there for the first time with my family to celebrate the Fourth of July. The show was hilarious, and the cast was great at improv and making the audience feel part of the show. Really a fantastic family outing to go to, and it's a pretty great deal when you do the show with dinner after!

We saw Juanito Bandito and it was great! I have known some of the Davis' for about 9 years and they are all so talented. Their show was great and really funny. I thought it was a little long, but it was entertaining and a lot of fun. Snacks were good too. A lot of family friendly fun!

We saw the Adams Family for UEA break and it is one thousand times better than the animated movie that just was released in the movie theaters!!! The play was excellent and the scenery was TOP Notch!!! The whole family loved it!!! Even my non-theatrical I don t go to plays where they sing husband said it was not bad. Ya I d see that one again next year
All I can say is there s no bad seats so go see it!!! Best play of the year!!! Jean North Ogden

Pickleville Playhouse is an absolute MUST for anyone in the area!!!

I watched ready fire aim staring Juanito Bandito. It was hilarious. Best play I have seen in a very long time. I recommend this play to everyone.

We love this place. Entertainment quality is incredible!

Loves the actor greetings. Popcorn. Amazing cast fun. Little mermaid a hit w the group

This place rocks! I m not a big theater person, but I loved the production at Pickleville. The cast was amazing and the venue was perfect. Can t wait to go back!

Its got a flavor about it that no other live theater can match. They are unique and a must experience for your self. Worth the drive.

Watched "Who Shot Juanito Bandito?" in July. We've been to many playhouses in the past 5 years...but this was, by a landslide, the BEST SHOW and cast we've EVER seen!

Even my older teen boys were DYING laughing throughout the evening. And we all...including my 10 year old daughter, STILL burst into laughter every time we think of the French Inspector, Jaques..."flossing"!

Juanito plays his part SO well, that my son refused to believe the civilian photo in the program was the actor playing Juanito...so I had to prove it to him...

Very funny family friendly great atmosphere excellent value for your money

Must go if you're at Bear lake. It just feels like home.

Hilarious cast and a quality dinner afterwards. Would definitely recommend!

We enjoyed a fun play in a unique atmosphere after spending the day on Bear Lake.

The best entertainment between Tuachan and Jackson Hole. Great place to have fun.

You made my grandfather laugh. You have no idea how big that is. Fantastic!

Absolutely amazing, so much fun, the cast was incredible. Experience you won't want to miss. Popcorn, caramel apples, Hot cocoa, cotton candy for concessions.
Will definitely be coming again. Saw the Adams family.

The melodrama felt like watching Tim Conway and Harvey Korman trying to craving each other up. It does have a lot of local humor outsiders may not get.

Juanito Bandito is super awesome! Fun for the whole family!
I will be super stalking him on the Instagram.

We saw the shoot out at shadow ridge. For a small town theatre the play was very good. There ad lib was hilarious. The duo of Big Guns & Jaques was very funny.

I went to a play here with some friends about a year ago and it was THE BEST theatre experience! The melodrama type, original play they put on (Who Shot Juanito Bandito) was soo amazing! I was belly laughing most of the time! You can feel the excitement and joy that the actors have for the show and improvisation throughout was so creative and fun. Plus the talent!! Amazing! I wish I could go back this year - but I will 100% go again someday!

Family fun for great entertainment, very slow food service.

We just enjoyed "The Drowsy Chaperone" at the Pickleville Playhouse Theatre - Bear Lake. The cast was great, the show was fun, we may go twice this visit! My favorites were Jordan Todd Brown who played "Man In Chair"and Debbie Miles who played "Mrs. Tottendale". A fun night out!

Always a fun time for everyone. We look forward to it every year

A must-see if you're in the bear lake area. We saw a Juanito Bandito show, and it was just spectacular. Great dancing, singing, and quality humor. I really appreciated the good values that made this show also great for kids. Next year, I'll definitely be returning to pickleville.

What a waste of money. An hour and half of watching people goofing around and thinking that it is funny. The second act wasn't as bad as the first. Don't go if you want to see a real play.

We always have a fantastic time coming to Pickleville Playhouse on a visit to Bear Lake. Our 4 children all loved laughing at all the funny jokes and acting! We will be visiting again.

Awesome shows, awesome venue, amazing people. Super clean bathrooms are a bonus.

We saw who shot Juanito Bandito. Laughed until we had tears. Talent was amazing, piano player was one of the best we have heard. If it all possible don't miss this play.

I really enjoyed the show, but the place was crowded to capacity and very hot.

I just love coming to shows here, especially the Juanito Bandito ones. The actors and actresses are amazing, along with the oiano player. I've come to a bunch of shows in the past few years and am always amazed at how well the do. The songs are amazing. They always put on a great show.

A handful of truly talented people carry the play. Genuinely funny most of the time. A few actors are loud and lack subtlety. Very impressive overall for a small playhouse. I laughed really hard. I'm anxious to go back and bring my family!
