Enjoy a visit to one of the Pennsylvania theaters located in the Lancaster and Harrisburg regions of PA on a visit to this area.
Enjoy dinner and a play, watch a performance with the kids, and laugh along with a comedy production.
Some theaters also have concerts in their buildings. Others offer musical performances and artists to provide an evening of lively music.
Make time to see at least one show when you come to PA for your vacation.
