What To Expect

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.

We enjoyed the pre-show and intermission entertainment, but the actual show was a struggle. Spent way too much mental stress trying to follow. Especially the first half. My wife pulled up the plot for me to read during intermission and it didn't help. I feel bad for the cast because I personally feel they have an impossible task. There wasn't much crowd reaction during the play, whereas the crowd involvement during the hoedown intermission was great! They have a great venue, but need a new Western drama or comedy for their talented cast to perform.

Very good show. A bit too thematic for young children (gunfire, ghost, blood). A wonderful production of the novel. The weather in October was perfect!

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!
