Last Chance to see the 2009 "Unto These Hills" - Cherokee

The 2009 Season of "Unto These Hills" ends on August 29. The world famous outdoor drama "Unto These Hills" has chronicled the history of the Cherokee Indians for 60 years, entertaining more than six million visitors since it first opened in 1950. "Unto These Hills" retells Cherokee history from the Cherokee perspective. The popular, family friendly play traces the Cherokee people over a period of several hundred years, through the zenith of their power, through the heartbreak of the Trail of Tears and finally ending in the present day where Cherokee people, much like the new script that was unveiled in 2008, continue to rewrite their place in the world. The story comes to life with live music, ritual dance and authentic Cherokee costumes in the 2,100-seat mountainside amphitheater under the stars. http://www.cherokee-nc.com
