At The Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Theatre, Harold Bell Wright's epic story of
love, loss, power, hardship, and the true meaning of life is immortalized every
night on a star-lit stage. It takes over 80 actors and actresses, 40 horses,
a flock of sheep, several guns and rifles, an actual burning log cabin, and a vintage 1908 DeWitt automobile to
make the live action performance what it is - a legend.
Since the first season in 1959-60, the outdoor drama has
entertained millions of Branson visitors. People who came to see the show as
children come back to bring their own families. The cast members exhibit the
loyalty and affection they have for the story itself. Several of them have
been in the drama since its inception. The Shepherd of the Hills is not just
another Ozarks show - it is the story of the Ozarks.
Your adventure begins with a pre-show at 8 p.m., followed by the performance at
8:30 p.m. During intermission, the entire audience is welcome to join the cast
for a square dance hoedown. Once you take your seat, you're in for a thrill-ride
of entertainment, and you'll be on the edge of your chair by the end!
