Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Drama

At the Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Theatre, 5586 W Highway 76.

The book Shepherd of the Hills was written in 1907 by author Harold Bell Wright. The Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Drama is the popular outdoor play based on the book.

It's the epic story of love, loss, power, hardship, and the true meaning of life immortalized every night on the 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.
