NC Outdoor Dramas are Summertime Favorite Attractions

UNTO THESE HILLS is an outdoor drama presenting the history of the Cherokee Indians in a beautiful Mountainside Theatre, mid-June thru late August each year. 2011 Season Dates: June 3 - August 13, Monday - Saturday at 7:30 PM. In 2006, “Unto These Hills” began a new script aimed at conveying a more culturally authentic, historically accurate and Cherokee-centered experience. The new play traces the Cherokee people through the aeons, through the zenith of their power, through the heartbreak of the Trail of Tears, finally ending, appropriately, in the present day, where the Cherokee people, much like their newly re-scripted drama, continue to rewrite their place in the world.
