Unto These Hills Outdoor Drama Closes
8/29/09 The "Unto These Hills" Outdoor Drama closes for the 2009 season on August 29! “Unto These Hills” debuted on July 1, 1950 and was an instant hit. The drama has shown at the open-air Mountainside Theatre each summer since then when Kermit Hunter, a non-Native, wrote the original version as a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A new version that debuted last year adopted a Cherokee perspective of the Eastern Band’s own history and included authentic costumes, traditional dance and music and – for the first time ever – a majority of Cherokee actors. Attendance rose last season and audiences gave the revised show a standing ovation after each performance. Over the decades, more than five million people have experienced this memorable outdoor drama. |
