The Outdoor Show
This show is based on the book that brought infamy to the Ozark area. Watch as the story comes to life, and you'll even get to participate in a good old fashioned square dance during intermission.
See Harold Bell Wright's world-famous "Shepherd of the Hills" adapted for stage and brought to live under the stars in Branson's premiere outdoor amphitheatre. But it's not just a show, it's an experience. Not only will you see the book that made the Ozark area famous acted out before your very eyes, you'll be invited to join the cast in a square dance hoedown during the play's intermission. So what happens when you combine a recipe of over 80 cast members, 40 horses, a real-life burning log cabin, guns and an authentic 1908 DeWitt auto? Simply put, a sell-out show that brings audiences to their feet, and leaves you talking about the performance for years to come.
Awards and Accolades
