Dinner theaters aren’t as numerous or popular as they once were, but Beef & Boards is still going strong, having served up “food, fun, and fabulous entertainment” for nearly 40 years.  Located in College Park, it was originally part of a chain of dinner theaters built by Louisville contractor J. Scott Talbott. Today, the Indianapolis venue is privately owned and is the only surviving Beef & Boards theater, feeding and entertaining more than 155,000 people annually.

Each season offers Broadway shows, concerts, and children’s theatre productions by the resident company, The Pyramid Players. Representative fare ranges from My Fair Lady to White Christmas to High School Musical.
