Itinerary

The Shepherd of the Hills

During the 1800's, the Ozark hills were wild and untamed. Crime was rampant and law enforcement had a difficult time. Eventually, a group formed to help law-abiding citizens. Soon enough, this group became so powerful they were bending the laws for their own gain and they became worse than the criminals they originally formed to fight against. This two-hour long production features a shoot-out, the actual burning of a log cabin, a mystery, a love story, and a moral message that is as true today as it was a century ago. You will be introduced to fascinating characters as they arrive on wagons or horseback including the pillar of the community, Old Matt as well his son, Young Matt. Other characters include beautiful Sammy Lane, villain Wash Gibbs, the mysterious Shepherd, and the vigilante Baldknobber gang.

Worth the Wait!

Published on Oct, 2024

The whole cast and employees were very kind and helpful! I read the book several times and have been wanting to visit Matt's cabin for many years. It was well worth the wait!

Excellent

Actors did an excellent job of reenacting the book. My boys especially enjoyed Ollie whom they said they hadn't liked in the book. In the drama he was hilarious. An inspirational drama.

Great Family Fun

Excellent show. We really enjoyed being in an outside theater. The staff and actors were friendly and excellent hosts. We've been going to shows here since we were kids.

An Authentic and Honest Ozark Experience

Published on Jun, 2024

Harold Bell Wight’s Shepherd of the Hills is a beautifully crafted novel that tells an authentic part of the regions past. This production wonderfully brings his words to life weaving drama, action and comedy in a formula that will entertain the entire family. As a fan of the novel, I enjoyed the parts where dialogue was directly picked up from the book, those words practically sing. Everyone, especially children, will be delighted by the real life action and effects. The production is masterfully crafted taking full advantage of the natural setting as if goes from dusk to nightfall with use of stage and practical lighting. It’s just magical to see the story come to life in an authentic setting. This production represents the classic entertainment tradition that allows the Branson region to grow into the destination it is today. I find it walks the line between portraying the “hillbilly” in a comical entering manner and a deeper more authentic one. There’s enough substance in the material to carry the comic relief and an authentic love for and respect of the heritage.

Wonderful Experience

Published on Jun, 2024

We took our grandkids while on vacation. It was a great experience! First, they enjoyed the park including put put and barn animals. The show was awesome and they loved the audience interaction. I highly recommend. A few tips…get there about two hours before the show to enjoy everything your ticket includes and bring a light jacket as it gets cold when the sun goes down.
