Since 2011, relevant and meaningful original Broadway-style musicals from Amish Country have made our Bird-in-Hand Stage one of Lancaster County’s must-see stops for live entertainment. Presented in partnership with Blue Gate Musicals, these original stage shows offer a window into a unique world. We have lots of news for the 2022 season! We are thrilled to present two regular-season Blue Gate Musical shows, the premiere of A Simple Sanctuary and the long-anticipated return of Josiah for President. We are also excited to welcome the return of the wholesome, family-friendly humor of Ryan & Friends. The Christmas season brings the return of the popular Blue Gate musical The Christmas Tree Ship.
So escape your everyday world for a little while and enjoy our live entertainment. You’ll find yourself laughing, holding your breath, gasping, tapping your toes – uplifted and fully entertained.
See Shows »When we come to the Family Inn, we like eating out and riding through the countryside. We love going across the street to the hardware store that goes on forever. We go to Sight & Sound all the time. We were in Bird-in-Hand in November to see Josiah for President on the Bird-in-Hand Stage. The show was magnificent.
